2024 Lightning Boat Grant Skipper –Emma Hawko
Crew - Kim Rosewell and Caitlin Derby

Clearly 2022 and 2023 Boat Grant Alumni, Emma Hawko can’t get enough Lightning sailing! The Lightning Class is excited to see Emma back this year as skipper and with an all-woman team! Emma, from Shelburne, Vermont and a sailor for McGill University will sail with Kim Roswell, from Boston and Northeastern University and Caitlin Derby originally from Detroit, and presently a member of the sailing team at University of Vermont. They will be based out of Vermont and mentored by multi-class champion and Lightning guru Ched Proctor. Emma has already immersed herself in the Lightning class and was elected New England District secretary in 2023. Certainly, there’s even more on the horizon for Emma, Kim, and Caitlin as they look forward to participating in Fleet 332’s weekly racing and the larger events, including the North Americans in Buffalo
