Every time MCSC calls Harken‚ Harken responds generously. Our Ensign and J-24s sailors rely on dependable Harken travelers‚ winches‚ blocks‚ cam-cleats and furlers. It’s a beautiful relationship that goes back to the beginning of the Sailing Center and to the early years of Harken. Harken USA’s CEO Bill Goggins will share the story of this iconic sailing company‚ it’s unwavering support for community sailing‚ and his thoughts about the future of the sport we love.

Bill has been with Harken for 25 years and served as CEO since 2010. Harken‚ the 55-year-old creation of Peter Harken‚ Olaf Harken‚ and Art Mitchel‚ is now a global organization that is proudly 100% employee owned. Headquartered in Pewaukee‚ Harken also has offices in Italy‚ France‚ Holland‚ England‚ Sweden‚ Poland‚ Australia & New Zealand. Bill and his wife Susan live in Pewaukee where they’re raising their four children who all love the water and sailing.
