Accessible Sailing on Lake George and elsewhere...
A small group of volunteers pulled the covers off the six Martins on Saturday, March 25 to review the state of the boats and compile a list of hardware and rigging parts needed to bring them all up to par before the start of the season. We'll be re-convening on Saturday April 8 with parts in hand to do the actual work. Please join us if you can. And check out the photos in the Flickr set (we've set up a group on Flickr where we can collect and annotate these kinds of photos):

U.S. Sailing has hired Betsy Alison (Newport, R.I.) as the full-time coach of the U.S. Disabled Sailing Team. Alison, a five-time Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year and two-time Yngling World Champion, has been working with athletes of the U.S. Disabled Sailing Team for several years, accompanying the U.S. Paralympic Sailing Team to the 2000 and 2004 Paralympic Games. Those of us who have seen Betsy in action in the Martin 16 down in St. Pete know she'll be an outstanding asset to the team.
