THE BOATWRIGHT

Carl Eichenlaub was instrumental to U.S. Olympic sailing success from 1976 to 2004, building and prepping boats for Olympic campaigns. He was never a competitor himself but is the club's fifth Hall of Fame honoree — the credit for these medals extends to the people who built the boats, not just the sailors who raced them.
