Dorsey Owings was a good man, a pleasure to know, fun to race with or against. Truly salt of the earth. He skippered his J/30 in twelve North Americans finishing in the top ten every year from 1994 to 2003. Sea Biscuit was second three times and won the championship twice in 1997 and 2000, both sailed on Narragansett Bay. Condolences to Gail and all who sailed with him on Sea Biscuit. Dorsey will be missed by all who knew him.
