New Ownership at J/Port Annapolis

With the new year, there are some new and exciting things happening at the Chesapeake Boating Club and J/World. Paul Mikulski, J/Port founder (way back in 1992), has finally decided it is time to hand over the reins and go sailing! He has officially retired, and will be spending more time on his J/42 Full Circle with his wife Sue. We wish them all the best as they take advantage of some much deserved relaxation.

Kevin Ryman, managing partner since 1995, has taken over leadership of the company. The remainder of the staff will remain the same, with Alex Berg managing the Chesapeake Boating Club, and Jeff Jordan directing J/World, the performance sailing school.

The combined companies will return to communicating under the umbrella corporate name, J/Port Inc., to better embrace the synergy of having both services under one roof. The two offices are merging, and will be located in the main building, adjacent to the primary classroom. Emily Decker will continue to be the smiling face that greets you there. The floating boathouse will remain as the Club headquarters in-season.

Winter maintenance work is well under way. Very soon the fleet of 34 Sail and Powerboats will be back in top shape and ready for another year of hassle free boating fun.

Please come down to take a tour, check out the facilities, and sign up for a free test sail. We also offer a free session with a J/World instructor, included with every new membership or renewal. Make this the year to get out and enjoy our national treasure, the Chesapeake Bay!
