Kennneth Ringle

Kenneth A. Ringle (Col ’61) published his first novel, Squeeze Play, through Amazon in September 2016. He has devoted much of his life to sailing since he retired as a writer and critic for the Washington Post in 2004. He has voyaged more than 10,000 miles offshore, much of it as a tall-ship crewman, including one transatlantic passage in a 40-foot sloop from Lisbon to West Palm Beach, Florida. Mr. Ringle is also a recognized authority on noted historical author Patrick O’Brian, on whose maritime work he has organized and led seminars at the Smithsonian Institution, Mystic Seaport and other venues.
