Growing up sailing in Boston, Carol's sailing experience ranges from dinghies to big boats. Curious about everything, her sailing experience is diverse. She has done a variety of types of sailing from racing dinghies and small keelboats, to living aboard a big boat, and cruising throughout New England and in the Mediterranean.
