Leslie Geary
L.E."Ted" Geary (1885 - May 19, 1960) was a naval architect who grew up in Seattle, Washington. He designed and raced numerous competitive sailing vessels, and also designed commuter yachts, fishing boats, tug boats, and wooden hulled freighters.
== Designing and racing ==
Geary was born in 1885, in Atchison, Kansas, and moved to Seattle with his parents in 1892. He exhibited an early attraction to water-related activities. In 1899, at age 14, he, along with a friend, designed and built the 24-foot centerboard racing sloop ''Empress''.
Four years later, with lifelong friends Dean and Lloyd Johnson, Geary designed and built ''Empress II'', another 24-foot centerboard racing sloop. With Geary at the helm, she was never defeated in local races. While a sophomore at the University of Washington, he designed ''Spirit'', a 42-foot LOA (Length Over All) racing sloop for the Seattle Yacht Club. ''Spirit'' would successfully challenge the Canadian Yacht ''Alexandra'' for the Dunsmir Cup in 1907. Geary’s success attracted the attention of several prominent Seattle businessmen who at Geary’s suggestion would finance his education as a naval architect at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
