Before working and sailing at Oakcliff Sailing Center, Chris Kennedy cut his match racing teeth on Foundation 36's and Elliott 6m's in Australia. Before that he attended University of Virginia as an aerospace engineer, but majoring mostly in sailboat racing all over the east coast. His early years growing up in Wisconsin, aka: Melges country, sailing on famous Lake Geneva has given him a very solid base upon which to build his sailing experience. Now with Riptide, he is ready to jump on any boat, anywhere and show the world what the team can do.
