Sandmeier Enterprises, Windsor

Terry Sandmeier, informally known as Captain Sandy, began cultivating his lifelong passion for sailing as a boy growing up on the Gulf of Mexico. He first acquired the taste for sailing while cruising along the gulf coast from Texas to Mississippi. Today, with more than 35 years of experience and a U.S. Coast Guard Master License, Captain Sandy alternates between sailing Colorado's mountain lakes and the warm waters off the Florida Keys. He imparts his experience to burgeoning sailors aboard his Morgan 32, teaching them skills from interpreting the wind to lassoing passing clouds on breezeless days.
