The Jamie Boeckel Memorial Foundation was established in 2002 shortly after the sudden and tragic passing or our friend, brother, and son, Jamie, in a yacht racing accident while performing Bowman duties aboard Blue Yankee on Long Island Sound. The mission of the fund is to preserve Jamie’s memory through various charitable endeavors that reflect the adventurous and generous spirit of a young sailor who seized life with an unabashed spirit and offered friendship to all those with whom he came in contact.
