Season Seven Show No. 165 Inside Great Lakes Sailing - Bill Lee SC Sailboats - Ohana Ambassadors Cup

INSIDE GREAT LAKES SAILING SEASON SEVEN SHOW NO. 165 - The Ambassador Cup is coming for Santa Cruz 70s August 28-30 on the Detroit River in downtown and we thought it might be a good idea to see exactly what the hype is all about. We traveled with Ohana and skipper Tor Hough for the annual Edison Yacht Club Regatta last week and saw first-hand the magnificence of the Bill Lee-designed sled. The journey was spectacular, but no more than actually chatting with the man himself, Mr. Santa Cruz, Bill Lee, the 84-year-old boat designer genius. It was a treat to chat with him, but the most surprising part of the show might be with Ohana's navigator, who is not a veteran of the many lake battles nor a grizzled swaby with miles of course left behind her, no, we met a high school senior, Ana Kozak, who is the 17-year-old navigator of a major Corinthian sailing program and you won't believe how good she is as a member of the crew, but more importantly, how much respect she commands because of her talents. Stay tuned and thanks for joining us.
