Steve Sherman - Snipe Builder

SteveSherman started sailing Snipes in Kansas City, MO. He worked on his first boat to make sure it was really ready for the season, only to find out wooden boats leak when you put them in the water. He gave up his job as an industrial engineer in order to buy Mike McLaughlin's boat building business and begin his career as a boatbuilder. Things were not always easy but the ability to handle all aspects of the business from the customer relations to the layup of the boats made it exciting. His industrial engineering background led him to work on the specific boat controls, making them easier to use and more powerful. Steve knows that Snipes are really a family. You sail with the same group for many years and they all take you into their homes and make sure you have what you need when you show up to race around the country.
