Sailor , rigger , mechanic , electrician , California yacht broker .
Don Margraf got an early start knocking almonds and picking fruit with Braceros . He hauled interstate with the Teamsters . He built Mustangs for Ford . He tore down warehouses , rebuilt Victorians , played guitar at the Palomino and the Fillmore , shook hands with Dolly Parton and Lech Walecza , produced an album for a Grammy singer , ran the gamut , dodged a bullet and went the extra mile .
His first boat was a 14-man woodie on the Tippecanoe River . He then sailed Rebels and Lightnings on a lake and was hooked . He sailed a couple hundred thousand ocean miles . He studied and worked with a great naval architect and consulted for boat builders on 3 continents . He raced sailboats and delivered yachts across oceans .
He wrote magazine stories and marketing plans . And he swears the rhythm of the sea is heard best when Professor Longhair plays “ Tipitina .”
