Nate Richter

On the water is where Nate feels most in his element. After being fed sailing stories as a child, learning to sail on lazers and hobie cats, and having sailing adventures on his fathers boat, the call of the sea could not be ignored. After high school Nate attended Chapman School of Seamanship to learn the ropes, and began racing Americas Cup boats as professional crew in Rhode Island and in regattas all over New England. With the impending winter Nate took a position on a larger sailing yacht bound for the Carribbean, and for the next 5 years he traveled the world by boat as captain, 1st mate, and engineer. Having the opportunity to share his love of the sea, and to teach youngsters to harness the forces of nature behind the helm of a sailboat, Nate is greatly looking forward to his role as sailing instructor for Atlantic Yachting Summer Camp.
