About the Author
Susan Artof has a Masters in Psychology and sailed for over 25 years in Marina Del Rey spending many years as a junior program chairman at DRYC and eventually a yacht club commodore of Westlake Yacht Club. Susan has worked with junior programs of clubs throughout Southern California and is recognized for her expertise in program management. In addition, she taught psychology at Santa Monica College for 23 years and earned all but her dissertation in Early Childhood Education at U.C.L.A. But what makes her an expert in junior sailing is that she is a parent of two sailors and has watched from the docks as her children mastered the sport. She feels the same mixture of pride and anxiety as any reader of this book.
