Loft History

     David Constance became involved with the sport as a student, through Tulane University Sailing. His interest in sailing continued while stationed in Hawaii as a submarine officer. Upon returning to New Orleans David became involved in the Gulf Coast sailing community, and began racing in Lake Pontchartrain. When David met his neighbor Neil (a former sailmaker), a sail loft was soon to follow.
     "While the connection between sailing and engineering is obvious, the part that I find most fascinating is the seemingly unknown - the art of sailing. But like most talent, it is really through study and practice that the magic is created."

BSE, Biomedical Engineering, Tulane University; MBA, Loyola University; Senior Reactor Operator, Nuclear Regulatory Commision. Engineer by training, Sailor by choice.
