Who represents the Northwestern boat now?
Edgar’s niece Mandy Hansen is a captain-in-training of the Northwestern boat.
Mandy’s father Sig had started training her to take over the family business at some point in the future. Sig previously had two health scares so Mandy could become the future deck boss of the Northwestern.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Sig explained: “She and her husband can take it and run. I don’t care. They are young, they got this.
“For me, I’m done. I got a foot out the door. My mentality is different from it was 20 years ago. You only get so many chances. I’m hoping it makes sense.”
