Sailing in VR with your Dad!
Sailing has always been a multigenerational activity that connects kids with parents.
As we’re celebrating Father’s Day this month both in the US and Europe, we thought it would be a great idea to share some of the inspiring father-son stories around sailing that MarineVerse community members have shared.
Today, we will hear from Aaron and Jay Sawyer, both MarineVerse Cup sailors.
MarineVerse: Can you share with us some of your “father - child” sailing memories?
Aaron: I’ve been racing sailboats with my father, Jay Sawyer, since I was just old enough to scramble across his Melges MC Scow, but not yet strong enough to pull up the daggerboards without help.
