Lightning Sailors Brave Cold
It was cold (low 40s) and windy (puffs to 18) for the first Lightning Racing of 2002. That didn't slow 6 skippers and their hardy crews from getting on the water. George Siegle, Ann Siegle and Gil Chesbro won two of the three races. Pat Dolan, Stacey Kotecki and Gary Marx won the third race. For more on the racing story go to www.lansingsailing.org. For complete results, go to www.lansingsailing.org/page.cfm/12/. |

Tune in to Volvo Ocean Race Saturday on ESPN2
Lansing sailor Mike Moody was on hand in Miami last Saturday to see the Volvo 60's - just before the start of the Miami to Baltimore. Mike says these are beautiful boats and the way they ride the waves makes it clear how responsive they are. Mike went on to a fabulous week of Laser school at Key Largo while the Volvo sailors rode the gulf stream up the eastern coast and then up Chesapeake Bay for the finish near Fort McHenry. Gary Jobson will have leg 5 highlights of the Volvo Ocean Race at 3:30 PM Saturday, April 27 on ESPN2. The next day (Sunday, April 28) Gary will have leg 6 highlights on ESPN2 at 3:00 PM. Set your VCR if you won't be home to watch. |
