Si Boettner, St. Michaels Businessman, Dies After Wednesday Night Sailboat Races

June 29, 2012 by Kathy Bosin

Share

Si Boettner, of St. Michaels, collapsed and died at the helm of his sailboat on Wednesday after participating in the Wednesday Night Races at the Miles River Yacht Club. He was 69.

A non-practicing lawyer, Boettner and his wife Lynda founded the Chesapeake Bay Trading Company in St. Michaels in 1992. As an avid sailor and active member of the St. Michaels community, Boettner was known as a friendly and gregarious man. He had a smile for eyeryone, and always had something good to say.

His racing sloop, Cabaret, always participated in local sailing events, and Si was quick to offer to help with Junior sailing programs and others. He was a former fleet Captain of the Miles River Yacht Club, former Commodore of the Herring Island Fleet and active on the Sailing Committee.

After the race on Wednesday night, it was said that Si commented on the beautiful Miles River sunset. He will be dearly missed by the St. Michaels community.

    As a successful St. Michael’s businessman, his store added much to our community. As a sailor in his “Cabaret,” he always added excitement to our races. And as an active member of the Miles River Yacht Club, he gave us much of what a “club” really means to its members. I will miss him.
