Steve White began his racing career on Mirror dinghies as a child on the Prairies.  He moved to Vancouver in high school and continued racing, which soon led to his getting a job as Operations Manager for Blue Water Yachts.  He commissioned many racing and cruising boats for them before starting his own business, Total Yacht Rigging.  He continued racing at the same time and gained experience internationally.

He is well respected throughout the industry and was invited to manage Pacific Spar in the mid 80's.  When they were bought out by Pro-Tech Yacht Services his experience and skills expanded to include fabrication in stainless and aluminum, which also meant broadening his horizons to encompass powerboats. 

In 2005 he launched out on his own again as Steve White Rigging and remains one of the most skilled and well respected yacht riggers in the Pacific Northwest.
