In 2001, Quinby and his family moved to San Francisco where James became the Sail Care Manager and in his owned words has "enjoyed the opportunity to provide Sail Care for the diverse sailors and sailing craft we have on San Francisco Bay. From Ocean Voyaging Cruisers to elite One Design Racing Classes and everything in between, we are here to help."
