Dave Wright
Dave Wright, born and raised in North Carolina, is an experienced sailor having purchased his first sailboat in 1975. He is American Sailing Association Certified and has served as Commodore of the Steele Creek Yacht Club, Treasurer, President and Board Member of the Pecan Grove Yacht Owners Association and Race Committee Chairman of the Oriental Cup Regatta and is a current member of the Sailing Club of Oriental (SCOO) and the Neuse Sailing Association (NSA). Dave has sailed and cruised the East Coast, Chesapeake Bay, San Francisco Bay and the British Virgin Islands, and has experience in sailboats to 51 feet and power boats to 40 feet. He moved from Raleigh, NC with his wife Carol (also a former commodore of the Steele Creek Yacht Club) to Oriental ten years ago and has never looked back. In the winter of 2002 they took off in their Tartan 37 Blue Dancer headed South. Four months later, they returned, still speaking to each other and with a whole lot of stories to tell. Dave and Carol sail their Bristol 41 “Bristol Star” out of Pecan Grove Marina. Contact Dave at 252-249-7245 or by email at Dave.Wright@st-barts.com
