Sandy Weld

Sandy Weld grew up sailing a Herreshoff 12½ footer off Cape Cod on Buzzards Bay. He was discharged from the US Army in Germany in May 1965 and joined Dick Carter a week later to help launch and tune Dick’s new yacht Rabbit. He raced on board all the boats Dick Carter designed and skippered in the 1960s. During this period, Sandy participated in three Fastnet races, two Admiral’s Cup competitions, the Sydney-Hobart and the Bermuda races.
