Had the experience to sail against Ted in the NYC mayors cup several times years ago. I remember him to be a regular guy at the captains meetings. Shorts, boat shoes and plenty of jokes. Also remember Ted jr. leaving the morning after one race in a snotty n.e. wind. years later one summer in Hyannis saw Ted and his wife out sailing in the bay. noticed on his return a launch come out wwhile he was motoring in . two hands stepped on board while they stepped off. they took the launch in while the hands stayed on board to furl and stow the sails.
