Congradulations to Jamie Livingston, for putting Niece Sarah Newberry on the helm, and mixing it up with the World Champion Tornado sailors at the 2007 Rolex Miami OCR. Sarah was the US SAILING Youth Multihull Champ last year, and is only 18. Too many sailor parents do not pass the helm to their children, and leave them as crew too long. Many then loose interest and are lost to the sport. My Son Tom took over as skipper on our Hobie 16 at age 15,and remained skipper on our Hobie 18, until we both switched to two Hobie 17's.
It is encouraging to see more familys taking this approach.

Ha, I guess that makes me lucky to have non-sailing parents, I dont have to worry about being a crew all of my life. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
