Nelson Reynolds
An avid sailor for more than 50 years, Nelson learned to sail a pram as a child and immediately fell in love, a passion he shared with his father. Since then, Nelson has sailed many boats, including a J/24 he campaigned on the Texas Circuit and a Laser in regional regattas. Recently, he acquired a Hunter 28.5 and now also owns his live-aboard Cal 2-46. In the course of purchasing the Cal he ‘discovered’ cruising the Pacific Northwest.
