John Delamar, Sailing Coordinator

Email: jdelamar@donleecenter.org

John Delamar was born and raised in Pamlico County. He has been fascinated with the water since he was a small child. John has spent countless days exploring the Neuse River, Pamlico Sound, and its surrounding areas, searching for fish, and enjoying the unique environment which he calls home. After five years years at UNCW and about ten thousand hours of documented surfing time, John worked as a dock master at Bald Head Island Marine, owned a small construction business, and spent many hot summers at a local boatyard. John was an LIT at Don Lee Center in 1997 and could have never guessed that one day he would be back in a leadership role at Don Lee. BUT, here he is, striving to make the Don Lee sailing program a legend...or at least, really cool.
