In addition to being in small, skinny boats, James raced sailboats professionally out of Marblehead mass, crossed the Atlantic in a singlehanded BOC race sailboat and has extensive navigation experience in sailing. He also holds a Master of Science in Physical therapy and Doctorate in Sports medicine with a concentration in shoulder and neck injuries.  One handy guy to have on the water!
