Sailing at Last

A landlocked Navy veteran from West Virginia got to fulfill a lifelong dream by sailing a 32-foot sloop for the first time. Joe Linville took his family out on the York River for a sunny cruise and discovered he’s a natural sailor. “I had a client who was building Bruce Roberts sailboat with his brother-in-law to see the world. He was so grateful to me for cutting him slack on a big HVAC job that he took me to lunch and told me about sailing. He took me under his wing and got me a subscription to Sailing World magazine. I’ve been fascinated with sailing ever since.”
