STEVE & DORIS COLGATE And Offshore Sailing School
by Herb McCormick

In the realms of both the marine industry and competitive sailboat racing at its highest levels, few if any couples have matched the accomplishments of Steve and Doris Colgate, the longtime proprietors of the world renowned Offshore Sailing School: With over 160,000 graduados, no one has taught more novices how to sail than Offshore.

A scion of the Colgate family of Colgate-Palmolive fame, and the daughter of an
award-winning scientist, Steve and Doris seem an unlikely match. Steve honed his skills as a world-class racing sailor on Long Island Sound, and after a stint in the Air Force and a return to New York, almost by happenstance he opened a sailing school… where he met his future wife. Doris was a pioneer in the sailing world, a world dominated by men. She became the founder of the National Women’s Sailing Association, among other yachting-industry initiatives. Their shared story is fascinating on several levels: as an insider’s take on yacht racing at the top levels; as a case study in a truly unique and successful business; y, finally, as a good old-fashioned love story.
