Geoff Nelson Now serving the San Juan Islands
Geoff Sailing 505's

Ullman Sails Seattle is expanding into the San Juan Islands.  Geoff Nelson has joined the group and will be specializing in servicing north Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.

Geoff Nelson has been sailing for 20 years... racing dinghy's (mostly 505's- competed in PCC's, ECC's and Worlds) and J's where he has competed in all the major US big boat regattas including Big Boat Series, Key West, Block Island, Long Beach, Whidbey Island, and a few trips to Cowes Race Week in England.  His favorite big boat racing is distance races and he has raced to Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and all the Ensenada races too many times to count.

Geoff has worked as both a coach and instructor at J-World in San Diego as well as managed boats and race programs.

Geoff has extensive cruising experience on the west coast between San Francisco and San Diego and has done many deliveries to Hawaii.  He looks forward to cruising his Ericson 38 in his new home in the San Juan's. When he's not sailing Geoff can be found touring and racing motorcycles between San Diego and Alaska

Ullman Sails is proud to have Geoff on our team and to help service the ever growing northwest sailor group.  This allows Ullman Sails to have a team member and service in the San Juan Islands to help sailors enjoy their sailing with no worries.

Geoff can be reached at geoff@ullmansailssd.com or (619)-997-0004
