International Lightning Boat-Grant Deadline Reminder The International Lightning Class Association (ILCA) is accepting applications for the third year of its innovative Boat Grant program, which puts race-ready Lightnings into the hands of sailors who might otherwise not have the opportunity. The deadline for the 2009 program is December 31, 2008. Applications can be found at (http://www.lightningclass.org/Boat_Grant/about.htm). The ILCA class website also has blog reports and video from past years' grantees as well as additional information about the Lightning class. The ILCA Boat-Grant program includes a Lightning with trailer, new sails, insurance, fee supplements, and support from an established Lightning sailing mentor. The program provides young sailors -- students or those just beginning their working careers, who can't afford to buy and campaign a competitive 3-person dinghy like the Lightning with all they need to sail against some of the best racers in the world.
