Don Seales

Masters Coach

Don started sculling after college in the l970’s while engaged in boat building projects on classic rowing gigs. As Assistant Coach at Marist College, Don became more interested in coaching and rigging shells for competition. Building and repairing rowing shells also became a passion. He has competed in most of the New York State rowing regattas and all of the major Head Race regattas in Masters events, including the pair, four+,  eight+, singles, doubles, and quads. Don’s personal motto is, “any boat, any seat, any time” Retiring to Maine from IBM, he enjoys rebuilding and restoring antique and state-of-the-art rowing shells – a growing fleet of over 25! Don continues to compete in Maine Masters Regattas. Don coaches in our master’s program. Don lives in Searsmont with his wife Ann.
