Team Q

Mike Quaglio has been sailboat racing for most of his life. At the age of 11 he decided to take the helm of his family’s keel boat, and never gave it up. He managed his family’s very successful racing program for 15 years. Mike also was an extremely accomplished high school and college wrestler, winning conference, state and national titles during his career. After college, Mike found success while sailing with other teams, and he was an important team member for the 2001 J/80 World Champion boat (USA 352) and the 2006 Swan 45 World Champion boat (Bellicosa).

In 2010, Mike founded Team Q Match Racing training at the Oakcliff Sailing Center in Oyster Bay, NY, and has been able to rise up the steep learning curve with dedication and exceptional coaching.

212 Degree Racing:
