I first met Stuart Walker shortly after Judy and I moved to Annapolis in the fall of 1968. We had been racing a Rhodes Bantam actively and those International 14s on the floats at SSA looked a little like our boat so we started asking about them. This led to a long and lasting friendship with Stuart and Francis and some of my fondest sailing memories as a member of the International 14 class.
I crewed for Stuart many times over the years on both International 14s and Solings and competed against him in 14s. He is indeed a legend in the sport I love and he inspires me to keep trying to get better and compete harder in my Laser.
