Matt Debicki

Matt spent ten years as a professional sailor, working on tall ships, multihulls and monohulls, including 3 years of teaching at the United Kingdom Sailing Academy in Cowes, England. In addition, he was project manager for the Arctic Research Foundation, overseeing the purchase, complete overhaul and crewing of a 65-foot fishing trawler converted to a science vessel which played a lead role in the search and discovery of Franklin’s lost ships, the Erebus and Terror. Prior to that, he worked as Sailing Coordinator at summer camps, and actually sailed his first regatta at the age of 4 months old. Matt brings an equal amount of enthusiasm and experience to the sailing school and aims to provide continuity to the program, allowing students to progress through the levels.
