Captain
David Gifford has been sailing for more than 35 years, after catching
the sailing bug during a visit to Annapolis and never recovering. In
addition to his years of sailing the Chesapeake Bay and much of the
eastern seaboard, he has extensive ocean sailing experience. He
holds a USCG Near Coastal Captains License and is certified in five
levels as an ASA Instructor. David is a graduate of
Maryland School of Sailing & Seamanship’s courses from 101 through
108, and has served for many years as a Mate on MD School’s voyages to
Bermuda, St. Thomas, New England, and elsewhere. He currently
owns a Bristol 38.8, which he sails regularly in the Chesapeake Bay. David
is a retired (and recovering) Philadelphia lawyer and now resides in
Rock Hall, MD.
