Early life

Anna Stockel was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but grew up in New City, New York where she lived with her parents and two sisters. She acquired her early interest in sailing from her father, Ivar Howard Stockel who bought a C&C 27, the "Mary C" when she was 12 years old. The "Mary C" is currently owned by her sister, Mary Cousland Stockel, and brother-in-law, Glen Garfein, and is moored in Berkeley, California.

Interestingly, she has owned only one sailboat, a Santa Cruz 50, hull number 27, built by Bill Lee[2] and Santa Cruz Yachts. This was the boat special built for Hal Roth[3] who raced it in two BOC, now called the VELUX 5 OCEANS Race[4], races, in 1986-87[5] and 1990-91[6].

The boat is currently owned by Bill Boyd and is moored in Marina Del Ray.
