Cruisers Roundtable

Captain Zachary Singer is the founder and director of Sail MS. Zac has spent his entire adult life working on commercial tug boats all over the world. He holds a 1600 ton Master oceans and Master of towing oceans which allows him to captain ships up to 300 feet.

In 2019 Zac was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and had to leave the commercial maritime industry. Going blind due to Uveitis caused by MS for six months, Zac was unable to renew his captain’s license or work. This led to the largest existential crisis he has ever had to deal with.

Meeting Captain Eugenie Russell during this crisis was the founding moment of Sail MS. The entire summer of 2019, Captain Eugenie taught Zac how to sail. After being brought back to life while blind, unemployed, and newly diagnosed with a terrifying chronic illness, Zac wondered what it could do for others. The rest is history.

Come meet him and hear his story!
