A native of northern New Jersey, Corbo was introduced to sailing shortly after graduating Ithaca College and became obsessed with sailing. Crewing whenever opportunity arose he also bought and campaigned several one-design sailboats. While still sailboat racing whenever time allows on his J-70 âLate Life Crisisâ he enjoys cruising with his wife Donna. They recently stumbled over to the âDark Sideâ, trading in their Beneteau 37 for a Back Cove 37.
