Meet the Class President, Julio!

“I’m really looking forward to working with the Lightning Class community during this term. My main goal is to continue strengthening the class internationally, supporting fleets that are growing as well as those that need a little help to get stronger again.


 I also believe we have an opportunity to provide more value to our members and make being part of the Lightning Class even more rewarding. Whether through new member benefits, better communication, or more opportunities to connect and compete, I would like us to continue finding ways to bring our sailors and fleets closer together.


Most importantly, I see the term ahead as an opportunity to build on the strong foundation of the class, bring new ideas to the table, and work together to keep the Lightning Class strong, active, and growing for the future.”
