Bob
started at BoatUS 29 years ago working in the BoatUS store (the only store
at the time) and warehouse. For the past 20 years, he's written 100s of
articles for Seaworthy
, the BoatUS Marine Insurance
damage-avoidance publication. Researching the articles typically includes
reading numerous insurance claim files to discover the causes of various
types of accidents as well as how they could have been prevented. He has
written safety-related articles in The Ensign, On Deck,
BoatU.S. Magazine, San Diego Log, Southwinds,
Long Island Boating, and Professional BoatBuilder.
Bob is also author of Seaworthy, Essential Lessons of Things Gone Wrong, published in 2005 by International Marine/McGraw-Hill. The 265-page book is in its second printing.
