Captain Richard Stalford has a long history on the water with both power and sailing vessels. Richard took his love for the water and turned it into a professional career as a Water Resource Engineer. He is also an American Sailing Association Instructor and a SCUBA Schools International Instructor. Richard is a licensed Captain with the US Coast Guard attaining the level of Master of 100 Gross Ton vessel and has logged over 15,000 miles on Labe Yoseph alone. He has retro-fitted Labe Yoseph himself and has an intricate knowledge of marine systems and sailing. Teaching has always come naturally to Richard and he is very comfortable communicating and makes learning easy and fun.
One of his many loves is to teach sailing and diving. It is very rewarding for him to help beginners with their sailing career either as a day sailor or as a more adventurous participant in the sport. He has had many of his students purchase boats, and a few live in the Caribbean enjoying what it has to offer. It is very rewarding for him to be part of changing people’s lives for the better.
