Ryan Rayfield of Sail Libra
Ryan Rayfield is the owner and captain of Sail Libra, known for turning offshore sailing dreams into real ocean miles. With decades of experience on the water, Ryan has logged thousands of offshore passages, led sailors across major routes, and built a reputation for calm leadership and true seamanship. What began as his personal love for passagemaking has grown into a program that gives both new sailors and salty veterans the chance to experience authentic offshore adventure without owning a boat. Ryan’s passion is helping people discover confidence at sea — from night watches and heavy-weather handling to the quiet magic of long ocean crossings. A natural teacher, he believes anyone can become offshore-ready with the right guidance, the right boat, and the right miles. Sail Libra is his way of sharing the ocean with those who feel its pull.
