licensed 100 Ton USCG Master Captain.
Curtis moved to Hawaii in 1980 with two surfboards, a bicycle,
and $500 in cash, $200 of which was spent on a one-way ticket
to the islands.
Curtis bought his first boat,
a 25' Coronado and singlehanded that vessel around the Hawaiian
Islands until he was able to buy a 41' Bounty II Yawl, which
he owned for over 20 years.
When he finally had the chance
to purchase his dream boat, an RP 44 called "Siesta",
he did so without reservation, and sailed it to the west coast
and back four times, setting records in Hawaii during his
offshore racing career.
Curtis has been sailing for
over 45 years, 40 of which were spent sailing in and around
the Hawaiian Islands. Since moving to San Diego, he has been
