He gave up the traveling consulting jobs and married Marie in 1977, bought a Ranger 32 and raced it very successfully out of Marblehead and Boston until 1980, when he raced it in the Marion/Bermuda race.

In 1977, David and Marie started New England Marine Documentation Services as a result of complicated issues in buying the Ranger 32. With the success of New England Marine, they felt offering marine insurance to their documentation clients would be a natural, and it was. So, in 1985, the Admiralty Insurance Agency was created.

In 1986, under pressure from a national marine lender, they opened a branch of New England Marine at Marina Village, Alameda, CA.

David bought and restored a 1973 58’ Hatteras Tricabin GLASS EAGLE, which he lives on and enjoys.(youtube: glass eagle yacht) Unfortunately, he has put GLASS EAGLE on the market for sale after a 14-year rebuild.
