15 May Cedric Keneipp
Cedric Keneipp, otherwise known as Wes grew up in Bellingham WA, just north of Seattle. He started sailing on the high school team five years ago and never missed another opportunity to be on the water since then. Starting with FJs and then quickly passing the laser step that most sailors stop at in favor of 29ers. He kept sending it in skiffs and 505s as often as he could when the weather allowed. After five years of sailing he qualified for high school nationals with the Mallory cup in reach. Recently he has been trying to become more relaxed when sailing at high speeds in stressful environments, and learning the winds language.
Cedric is a highly motivated sailor who's ideal summer consists of breaking 20 knots under sail every day. He spends most of his free time relaxing at the park playing yard games, or skiing at Mt. Baker when conditions permit. An outdoors kid through and through.
