Biography

John Reid sailed as a crew member to helmsman John Price. Reid was from Miami. At the 1952 Olympics, Price and Reid led Comanche to four wins in seven races. The Italian boat, Merope, however, never finished worse than second in any race, and a seventh-place finish in the second race relegated Price and Reid to the silver medals. Price and Reid sailed out of the Biscayne Bay fleet.
