Tripp Cashel, age 19, will be a sophomore studying engineering at Boston University and is on the BU sailing team.  He attended high school at Tabor Academy; Tripp was the captain of the '07 Team Racing National Champs. Tripp grew up sailing IODs, Bulls eyes, Optis, and 420s, at Fishers Island, in Long Island Sound.  

Outside of junior sailing, I got my fill sailing on all the boats Chicago has to offer. I sailed on a Santa Cruz 70, J 105 and a Beneteau 40.7. 

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a degree in Marketing.
