About 42 Marine
Based out of Lake Minnetonka, MN, Sam Rogers started 42 Marine as a sailboat and boating prep business. After 3 years at Melges Boatworks and North Sails Zenda and relocating to his home waters, staying in the boating business however possible was the goal. Along with a few projects at home, Sam has been able to establish himself as a pro sailor on various Melges 32, Melges 24, Melges 20 and Match Racing Programs. While the goal of the 42Marine.com is to publish blog posts that provide some helpful insights and tips from the racecourse, there are some humorous anecdotes that emerge from both on the water, and through some revelry on-shore. Stay tuned…
