James Doyle
Vice Commodore: James Doyle
James has been involved with UCISA on and off since he learned to sail years ago, right here at UCI.  Also a meber of the ALYC, his favorite sailing activity is his volunteer "dock/boat coordination" position in the annual Sail For The Blind day, hosted by WORSA.  He enjoys a relaxed day sail, and loves the competition of racing.  You'll probably see him around the UCI docks teaching beginners the joy of sailing, or maybe out in the harbor racing in the evenings.  He's usually teaching a Capri 1 or Capri 2 class on Saturdays.
Past Commodore: Rhett Roback
As Commodore of UCISA, Rhett was always around the UCI sailbase, sailing, teaching, and just chit chatting. He has been sailing hard for a couple of years, and loves racing and cruising. He's a senior, studying Biomedical Engineering, with the goal of hopefully going to med school. If you ever want to talk sailing, shoot him a message!

Treasurer: Dale Saunders

Jonathan
Shields Fleet Captain: Jonathan Weissman

Jonathan joined UCISA when he was working on his double major in Math and Physics at UCI. He quickly got excited about racing, and now races Shields and Capris year round. In addition to organizing Shields races, Jonathan volunteers helping with classes and ratings, and crews on Blacksilver. Jonathan works as a software developer, his primary project being a web application framework used to develop the user interface for an alarm monitoring product.

 

Capri Fleet Captain: Marty Mitchell

Marty has been involved with the UCISA since 1977, when our Shields were almost new. He enjoys racing, cruising, instructing and maintaining our Capri fleet. He is a UCI Electrical Engineering Alumni. Now retired, when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, you will certainly see him down at the docks.

 

 

Howard

Night Sail Director: Howard Frantz
Howard really enjoys coordinating the night sails - especially seeing novices have their first sailing experience on a night sail under the watchful eye of our amazing skippers. Howard is relatively new to the UCI sailing club and is enjoying taking classes and learning the ropes. Howard works full time as the Director of R&D for In-N-Out Burger (he's eaten his share) and occasionally teaches at the Paul Merage School of Business.
