Dale Nouse

Dale Nouse was a long time sailor. In his early newspaper years with the Detroit Free Press he raced with the Detroit Yacht Club and cruised the Great Lakes aboard his Mariner 32 ketch. In the late 1970s he moved from Michigan to Newport, Rhode Island to become editor of Cruising World magazine. When he found that retirement didn't agree with him, and finding there was still a demand for his extensive knowledge of boats and words, he joined the staff of Practical Sailor where he enjoyed testing boat gear until his death in 2006 at age 85.
