Son of founders Jim and Connie Grant, and brother of Sailrite owner Matt Grant, Eric is our resident DIY expert and project guy. You know him from our popular how-to videos hosted on the Sailrite DIY YouTube channel. He may have even answered the phone or corresponded with you via email regarding your product or project questions. Eric is always eager to share his advice and expertise on all things DIY.

You might think that since Eric spends most of his time prototyping projects and then filming them he doesn't have time to DIY at home. You'd be wrong! Eric loves working on projects at home and outfitting his house with sun shades, grill covers, custom upholstery and more.

Bill joined the Sailrite team in 2017. He’s an invaluable member of the customer support staff and occasionally lends a hand in project videos. He chats and emails with customers, helping them find the right tools and materials for their projects.

Bill started sailing over 50 years ago as a young kid on a sunfish dinghy in a local junior sailing program. In his personal time, Bill is part of a teaching program that introduces young sailors to the sport in hopes of sparking a lifelong interest in sailing. This means, in addition to his participation in a local racing club, he’s lucky enough to get on the water at least once a week.
