The U30 Committee would like to thank Michael "Moose" Marcel from Quincy Yacht Club for making his second boat, 7739, available to a U30 team!
Michael is an enthusiastic supporter of young Star sailors and will himself be sailing with a U30 helm at the Worlds. Perhaps he will recall a touch of the same magic he brought to Peter Bromby when they finished third overall together at the 1997 Worlds with this young helmsman. We take the liberty of quoting Mr. Marcel directly from his communication with us:
"I am a huge supporter of the U30 and I am a crew with a Star who will be sponsoring U30 skippers for as long as I can going into the future."
Thank you Michael for all that you are doing to ensure that our Class has a long and successful future and for sharing the best traditions of the Star class with the next generation.
Now, we need just one more "Moose" to complete our project. One more boat please, and we will be able to meet our objective of providing free boats to all the U30 teams who have expressed an interest in competing at our World Championship this fall.
Humbly and sincerely,
Benjamin Sternberg
