Lightning Boat Grant Program

Me and my team have just finished our first Lightning regatta with our grant boat. It is Nickels hull number 15189 and is in great condition.  We have already been given a set of used North sails, 3 spins, and a slightly used Vermont Sailing Partners jib. We are also set to receive a new set of Quantum sails for big regattas.  So far, Bill Fastiggi has shown us how to rig the boat up in Vermont, and Brian Hayes from North Sails helped us out when we arrived for the Early Bird at Cedar Point Yacht Club with tuning and rig set up on the water.
