Ray Wulff: preparation is everything

Today it’s our huge privilege to welcome Ray Wulff To the Sailfaster podcast.  A resident of Annapolis, Ray cut his teeth racing lasers and 420s on Long Island Sound and at the University of Rhode Island where he won a silver medal in the Collegiate Keelboat World Championships. 

 After university, he moved to Annapolis and pivoted to racing J-22s, J-70s, Melges 32s and Farr 40s. More recently, he has been racing IC 37s where he represented the New  York Yacht Club in 2019 and 2023 for the Rolex Invitational Regatta.

 Closer to home, Ray races his J-105 Patriot in the local Annapolis fleet winning the Annapolis Nood, Chesapeake Bay championships, and most recently finishing 3rd at the 2023 North Americans in Rye, New York.
