Charlie Singer was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but actually learned to sail in the Outer Banks of North Carolina at Camp Sea Gull where he was a camper and counselor for 10 years. With 10 years invested he doubled down in high school, working many jobs in order to buy his own Laser and Vanguard 15. His racing career moved to the sailing capital of the world, Annapolis and here he heard about the Sapling program
He applied was accepted and arrived at Oakcliff ready to grab every opportunity. In the first two weeks he reports he’s having a blast and learning a ton. After finishing his business and architecture education at Tulane University where he is going to be a sophomore, he fully intends to combine his formal education with sailing in some way or the other in his future career. The laid back and enthusiastic kid with a bit of a drawl and a twinkle in his eye is ready to lunge at any and all opportunities that walk by.
