Cap'n. Peter Quigley, a member of Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich, CT, is a helluva skipper. You can see him at the helm of "John Dory," his exquisite Fish-Class daysailer, which was designed and built by the iconic Nat Hereshoff in Bristol, RI, way back in the 1920's, before the readers of Poppy's Velo Ventures were even born.
Peter said he won his race -- and the respect of his fellow sailors -- with an instinctive feel for his boat and how she plays in the quirky wind on Long Island Sound.
"I'm like a horse whisperer," says Quigley, " except I talk to 'John Dory.' And she talks back to me."
