He has also sailed professionally as an able seaman on the 127' schooner Young America out of Bar Harbor, ME. Jay kept sailing through college racing 420s and as an adult teaching sailing on St. Croix, USVI where he was also an EMT. Locally, He raced with the Brooklyn Bridge Sailing Club during their inaugural season. 

He fulfilled his dream of having his own boat in 2015 when he purchased Guppy.
