Fair Winds and Following Seas 

 

Sean Beale-Rosano, has sailed on from his position as the Downtown Sailing Center's Waterfront Manager. Pursuing new professional opportunities in his home state of California, Sean has traded his faded DSC cap for a suit and tie.

 

The Downtown Sailing Center sincerely appreciates the work Sean did in his time with the organization. We wish him the best of luck in his new venture.


If you have questions concerning fleet, facility or waterfront related issues please direct your questions to Grady Byus.
