Clark Hardy
Clark was exposed to sailing by his parents in San Francisco Bay before he could walk. As a young boy he raced dinghies and crewed on race boats at California Yacht Club in the junior sailing program. He moved inland for a number of years to live and work in Yosemite National Park and attend College in Fresno. Clark continued sailing and racing boats on California lakes, as well as owning and operating marine businesses including a marina and commercial tour boat operation. The purchase of an Olson 40 brought Clark to San Diego. The boat is outfitted to cruise along the Pacific Coast and enter an occasional race. Upon arriving in San Diego he began managing and racing sailboats at local clubs as well as competing in distance races. Clark joined Yachtfinders/Windseakers to be a part of a winning team!
