Theme park rides are child’s play compared with racing aboard 141ft (43m) schooner Columbia under the command of Seth Salzmann.

His father’s job selling boat trips doubled as a classroom for 13-year-old Seth and younger brother Dylan. Trips to barrier reefs were the subject of reports, while boat skills shaped their future. To help out, Seth washed fishing boats after school until the day 74ft (22.6m) schooner Wolf lured him aboard as crew.
