| CREW PROFILES |  | | Captain: David Kummerle | Nationality: US | | Number of Crew: 1 | | Crew Profiles:
Captain David Kummerle was born and raised in Mount Vernon, NY and grew up with boats as a child. He raced Penguins at the Echo Bay Yacht Club in New Rochelle at age 12, and even tried the then-brand new sailfish and sunfish!
After graduating from college (State University of NY at Oswego, in '65), he moved to St. Croix "for a year or two". There, he taught high school science and art for nine years, scuba diving for two years, owned and operated several businesses including chemical sales, printing/graphic arts and advertising, and painted watercolors professionally. Some year or two!
Within two years of moving to St. Croix, David bought a 30' yawl as a bare hull. He completed the boat and logged more than 10,000 miles in the Caribbean. David then logged another 7000 miles racing and cruising a variety of his own and other people's boats. "I know the United States and British Virgin Islands quite intimately" says David. "Besides printer's ink, I guess I have boats and saltwater in my veins."
David bought GLORY in 1987 as a home for him and his daughter with chartering in mind for sometime in the future. She has grown up and moved away and that time has now come. During this same period, David taught basic and advanced sailing/cruising for the Annapolis Sailing School for six months, and then managed the St. Croix facility (their second largest) for two and a half more years. I love to teach and am very good at it. For Capt. David's philosophy on sailing instruction visit this site: http://www.caribbeancharter.com/glory/glorysailinginstruction.htm For an article from Cruising World on Capt. David visit this site:

You can kick back and have a "take me here, take me there" charter, with an occassional turn at the helm or a specifically tailored course with firm goals in mind. And he guarantees not to yell! |
