Pete McCormick

Pete McCormick, a familiar face on the West Coast racing scene started sailing dinghies at the age of 8.  Over the years his passion for the water continued as he spent more time sailing on the San Francisco Bay. As a teenager he progressed to cruising boats and then larger race boats, and at the age of 15 Pete competed in his first Rolex Big Boat series. 

In 1994 while attending the University of Oregon Pete joined North Sails, the World Wide leader in sail making technology. As soon as Pete graduated in 1998 he took the natural next step with North and joined their team as a partner in North Sails San Francisco.

Pairing his clients with the perfect sail inventory was an early gift that Pete developed while racing professionally, and project managing a number of Grand-Prix racing programs internationally. Pete’s career spans 28 Rolex Big Boat Series, 60,000 offshore racing miles, and countless wins in One Design, Handicap, and Offshore events all over the world.

When not on the water Pete enjoys spending quality time with his wife Lucy and his son Jack.
