SAILFIT Inc. started in 1994 having been originally incorporated under the name of Great White Performance Racing. The idea for the business came when I saw the difficulty sailors were having in moving their boats from one regatta to the next. Some would not attend certain regattas because they did not have a decent boat available to them. It was quite a dilemma for these sailors.

I had just finished a West Coast tour of sailing events when I decided that I really wanted to pursue this sport and see what I could do if I focused on sailing full-time. I knew it would take years to become an internationally known, high caliber Laser Sailor. I also knew that no one would pay the expenses in this dream of mine except me. So I started a business that chartered and transported Laser sailboats and sold parts. I saw a need for this service and I wanted to compete in the events as part of my campaign exposure anyway. So it was a natural. I would travel to the events with extra boats and equipment. Other sailors that had travel or boat issues could simply fly in and pay to charter a boat.

I quickly learned that I really needed to know what I wanted to buy and would get back for the money that I spent. I ordered the first trailer from a guy that builds heavy duty trailers out of his shop at his house. What a trailer it was, what a tank. But I could not convince myself that a 3,000 pound trailer was necessary to carry six 130 pound Lasers. It was way overkill. I lost my deposit and had another trailer built that gave me the ability to carry seven Lasers with half the weight!
