Meet the Crew - Allan Johnson "Sales with a Smile"
 
 
Allan Johnson
We're excited to work with Allan Johnson. Allan's back full time last month having been on sabbatical recently while he has enjoyed taking care of his two young sons Axel and Dean. 
 
I am so lucky to spend my work days on the docks and sailboats with my customers. Everyday I remind myself that I have my dream job of "messing about in boats". Sailing and sailboats are my very first memories and my constant fascination. From my old Cheoy Lee, "Talara" and the venerable "Norwester" to the rocket ship Riptide's that I have had the pleasure of racing on, let me share some of my insights on a boat that might be suited to you!

The sport of sailing has an infinite learning curve, and I keep learning. I recently was distinguished with the Certified Professional Yacht Broker designation, I am an Island Packet Certified Sales Representative, A Hunter Sales Pro, and a Certified Beneteau Sales Professional.

I hope to have sailing thrive in the future and love to get more people out on sailboats. I volunteer my time to make the sport better having served as a 505 fleet captain, a Tasar fleet captain, the Tasar North American Class President, The Commodore of Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle, and I organize the Big Beneteau Rendezvous each year.

If I am not in the office, I'm probably with my two young sons, or out on the race course in one of my high performance dinghies. Let's go for a sail! Please give me a call at 206-799-6311 or allan@signature-yachts.com
