Ian Shillebeeckx & Ian Moriarty from CSA (home of the 06 NAF18s) are certain to give the fleet fits. Shillebeeckx took 6th in the junior Lightning worlds last year on behalf of the US and was crew for Dan Paoli in the only junior team at the NAF18s last year. Moriarty is younger (15) but his dad is a very accomplished mono sailor including a couple of National Dinghy titles. While neither have deep cat experience, we expect them to do well and perhaps even more importantly, their participation in this event marks a big turning point in breaking down the barriers between mono's and multis in our club!!
