Stray On Course
You’d never know it from a casual conversation with him, but Gary Stray, the soft-spoken chief rigger and team manager for Miss GEICO Offshore Racing in Riviera Beach, Fla., has one of the most serious rigging resumes in the high-performance powerboat world. Between his work for former clients/employers Marine Technology, Inc., in Wentzville, Mo., and the Victory Team in Dubai, the 43-year-British-born Stray has worked at the highest ends of the high-performance pleasure and offshore racing powerboat realms. And if that wasn’t enough, four years ago he signed on as chief rigger and team manager for Miss GEICO Offshore Racing, the most polished outfit in the domestic side of the sport.
Editor’s Note: Look on an in-depth feature on the past, present and future of the Miss GEICO Offshore Racing team in the upcoming July/August issue of Speed On The Water magazine.
