The Boss - Charlie Silver
The Real Boss - Leslie Acord
Charlie took on Marina Sailing
Newport Beach in April 2001 with
no sailing or business
background, but a desire to
combine his love of ocean and
people. “The sailing club
succeeds because of staff and
members, all I do is nurture their
sailing dreams through
Corinthian sailing.” Charlie can
be found working the office,
sanding bright work, designing
programs, moving boats,
teaching, or just trading sailing
anecdotes with members.
