Crew of the Day, Pt. 7: Andrew Shea

Last, but most certainly not least, hailing from quite possibly the WASPY-est place in the continental United State, the one and only, sailing team captain and skipper of Team USA, the blonde hair, blue eyed beauty with a knack for charming the ladies, the man who turned down GQ, ANDREW BALDWIN SHEA! As a scientist of politics and international relations, Andrew takes immense pride in his ability to hold a substantially sophisticated political conversation and in his ability to converse in German with his vast knowledge and vocabulary of Deutschland.  Though hailing from all over the U.S., most recently from the quaint Barrington, Rhode Island, Andrew has now been declared a full time resident of Nimitz Library. Andrew grew up sailing with his family on his favorite boat of all, a Cape Dory Typhoon Sr. and has since been spotted on such crafts as a TP52, Navy 44, J122 and a rather sketchy Force 5. His best attribute? His patriotism and his hair, which is a close runner up to fellow team member Ralph Patrick Duffett's flowing locks. Andrew's best and bitterest moment in his sailing career was the time he lost NYYC Race Week by a mere 1/2 point, hence his constant motivation for always demanding more.  Andrew has been breaking in his Dubarry's for the past three years for this trip and can't wait to finally hit the water in La Rochelle and show the world what he and his crew are capable of!   -AMC
