A YACHT DESIGNER GETS TRUMPED.
My list of coolest dudes on the planet starts with big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Elon Musk and, of course, our presidential favorite and most manly man, Vladimir Putin. Who wouldn’t be a little intimidated to sit at a dinner table with these guys and small talk? Let’s face it, even if you own a 200-foot mega yacht, we all look pretty wimpy next to these guys.
My wife and I joined the Los Angeles Yacht Club (LAYC) a couple of years ago, but seldom have the time to visit the clubhouse in our rush to get to Catalina Island. However, on a trip to LA earlier this year we had a chance to attend a monthly dinner for new members. We joined the club to meet new people, so off we went.
