Steven Reeves
President | Owner
From learning how to sail at the age of four (with the guidance of our original Founders Doug & Dixie Bacon along with his Mom and Dad) to Racing with World Class Sailors in multiple One Design Boating events throughout the U.S.; Steve has surely made a name for himself throughout the Chesapeake Bay boating community. Having been a part of Bacon’s, in some way or another, his entire life; It was very natural for him to take the reins as the families Second Generation President, after the passing of Dixie “MA” Bacon in 2008. When he is not here in the store, You may find Steve putting around on his Mariner 36 sloop, Defever Trawler, Frostbiting on his Cal 25, or Racing with the Farr 30’s. Given his broad racing background, it may come at a surprise when he says, that one of his top favorite racing events is on a Steel-Hull Schooner named “Sally B”, racing down the Chesapeake Bay for the GCBSR. With the well rounded knowledge of sailing he has to offer, many friends and customers will come in just to chat about boats….and if you ask him…that’s what its all about!
