Program Director- David Korb

David excitedly returns for his eighth year as Program Director! He learned to sail at BSS as a child and is an active member of The Buzzards Yacht Club (Buzzards YC), where he has served as Race Committee Chairman and Board member for many years. He is delighted to lead BSS as it played an important role in his engagement in the sport. David has sailed and raced in a variety of dinghies throughout his life including Widgeons, 420s, I420s, FJs, and Cook 11s. He was an active member of the American Yacht Club frostbite fleet for nearly a decade. He also enjoys big boats, raced in two Bermuda Races and sailed from Tahiti to Hawaii aboard a 65 ft. sloop. His love of the water extends beyond sailing.
On spring afternoons he can be found on the Charles River coaching crew for Boston College High School. Away from his water activities, David has worked as an independent educational consultant supporting students from all over the world in their independent school and college entrance process. More recently he works in admissions and college counseling at The Newman School in Boston. He holds US Sailing Level 1 and 2 certificates and completed the American Red Cross certified lifeguard program in 2018.
