Daryl Baxter

Daryl began sailing with his family in Frenchman’s Bay back in 1975. Aboard a Northern 25 he would cruise with his family to Toronto Island and Ontario Place. His family decided to move to Lake Simcoe where he spent many summers as a kid travelling through the Trent Severn Waterway to experience Georgian Bay. Eventually the family boat was moved to Midland to enjoy these cruising grounds on a regular basis.

Daryl has always enjoyed learning how to make boats go faster.  He purchased and began racing a Kirby 25.  His passion grew as he learned from those around him while participating in events such as the Georgian Bay Regatta, Wiarton Regatta, Collingwood Cup, Detroit Bayview one design 36.7 and through weekly Wednesday night and weekend racing at the Midland Bay Sailing Club.  His passion for one design racing developed from racing his Kirby. This led to a partnership on a Shark and further experience racing on Beneteau 36.7’s.
