Â STEVE CROWE bio - It seems like I have been on and around the water since the day my family first arrived in Canada from Â Â Newcastle Upon Tyne, England over 40 years ago. Â Starting as a junior sailor on dinghies, I crossed over to keel boat racing in my teens and havenâ€™t looked back. Â As a boat builder, sail maker and rigger, as well as owning my own repair shop for over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to sail the seas across the globe. Â Most recently, I managed and captained the Mayhem Racing program which started with a Farr 40 and graduated to TP52s. Â Aboard these Grand Prix boats, renowned in sailing circles as fun, safe and reliable, we have had some outstanding results on the course.When not on the water, I split my time between hanging with my wife and daughter in Vancouver and working at North Sails.
