Marketing Profiles 2018 Don Margraf_ Marketing Presentation | Page 2

MEET Don Margraf
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.”
