about Kevin:
Kevin grew up racing Sabots in Alamitos Bay and in the Los Angeles Harbor. By age 14 he switched over to Laser IIs and other faster boats. Kevin is a valuable resource on any boat as he has a wide variety of sailing experiences under his belt, including collegiate sailing while at UCLA, offshore racing, team racing and skiff sailing. Kevin is driving Surfer Girl in the image to the left on her way to winning the Coastal Cup in 2004. During the race this 50-footer hit 28+ knots somewhere off Point Sur.
