In Good Hands
Executive Director & Founder
Dayyan Armstrong
Dayyan Armstrong founded the Sailing Collective out of a passion for connecting people with the world through adventure and sailing. Having been raised with values based on multi-cultural awareness and the importance of global culture, Armstrong combined his enthusiasm for sailing and exploration to create an integrated sailing vacation organization open to adventures, explorers, and sailors alike. With a background in music performance, social theory, and a graduate degree in economics from the New School for Social Research, Armstrong is always excited to participate in discourse on topics of philosophy, art, adventure, and exploration.
Journey Operations & Co-founder
Ross Beane
After graduating with a degree in Outdoor Education, Ross Beane has been relentless about sharing his love of wilderness travel with people wherever he goes. Having worked with programs from Alaska to Maine, he enjoys guiding students of all ages and abilities into beautiful and remote locations to foster technical know-how and an appreciation of the natural world. With multiple certifications in wilderness emergency medicine, he brings with him an understanding of risk management that keeps it safe without compromising fun. An avid sailor since youth, Ross has made many safe crossings and has taught sailing for The Wooden Boat School, New York Harbor Sailing Foundation, and the Manhattan Sailing School before joining Dayyan to help start the Sailing Collective.
Operations Director
Michelle Casazza
There are very few places that make Michelle as happy as she is on a sailboat. When land based, you can find her in Italy eating pasta, at home making pasta, or at Rezdora in NYC eating.... homemade pasta from Italy. Michelle grew up sailing casually with her dad in Sandy Hook Bay. After college, Michelle used her business degree in professional services firms and high-growth start-ups, always lusting for a good meal and more time on the water. After completing NYSC's Skipper's Academy in 2020, Michelle joined her first Sailing Collective group journey, quit her job and convinced Captains Dayyan & Ross to let her work for them. Since then, she's been working alongside SC captain and chefs to plan culinary sailing voyages -- an actual dream come true.
