Marcus Rogers, Chief Measurement Officer
Hard to believe it has been 10 years since I was last in Toronto for the 2016 J/24 World Championships. I came for class measurer training and ended up learning an incredible amount about our boat thanks to people like Tim Winger, Joe and Joanne Macdonald, Lyn Townsend, Dave Leon, and Keith Riley. There was so much wisdom, and these folks made those long days fly by.
PCYC has always held a special place for me — offering not only incredible sailing, but the unforgettable energy of nightly gatherings that brought the whole class together. From those early days, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the measurement team at every world championship, traveling from Greece to England to’, this year, Melbourne, Australia. Over the past four years, I’ve also taken on the role of technical chair for most major US events. And with each competition, I continue to discover something new about our boats.
I look forward to the honor of working with this gracious venue again. See you in Toronto soon!
