Hank Easom, a highly-respected San Francisco Bay area legend, was part of the waterfront for over 70 years. His passion for sailing began when he was 8 years old, and he won his first trophy at age 11. Over his lifetime he won well over one hundred races. In 1971 Hank, owner of Easom Boatworks in Sausalito, was awarded the prestigious Yachtsman of the Year from the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, then again in 2014, this time from the San Francisco Yacht Club. Just ten days before his passing at age 88, Hank finished his final race aboard his classic 8-meter boat, Serenade, at the Golden Gate Yacht Club Midwinters. Hank died on February 14, 2023, at age 88, just days after a racing buoy off Yellow Bluff was dedicated to his name. This inspiring portrait spans from his early years to the end of a magnificent life, honoring a sailor as unforgettable as the bay he called home.
