It is time to wake up from our long winters nap, spring is here!  Well at least in some parts of the world! And with 34+ boats already registered for this years North American Championship - it's time to plan your Lightning sailing season and that begins with a BOAT!!

Do you realize there are at least five boats in the Classified Listing ready for some serious action. One of these could be a great upgrade to think about or a boat for someone new to sail in regattas around the world.

It is time to make sure your existing equipment is ready to go and will perform.  Do you realize there are incredible new replacement parts for sale on our website too? I was surprised to see a full travel cover for sale.  I know some of the items are spare parts from very serious sailors who are switching gears or aging out. Buying these items new, well they are available but at a much higher price.

Now is a great time to think about your Lightning... Are you looking to upgrade? Need to get some new parts to make the boat go faster or easier to sail?

OR has your boat not seen action in some time? Is it time to get it into the hands of someone who will sail the boat? We can help you list your boat and maybe, put a big smile on just the right buyer for your beloved Lightning. Boats are meant to be sailed! Let's get more out on the water!

If you can’t find a boat or parts that fits your needs let us know for we may be able to help find it for you.  You can find good used boats…there are classics which need to be restored too….some boats are simply sitting in a barn waiting for you.

The Class Website has a great Classified Listing under the Marketplace Tab. Shop or List: Boats, Sails, Other Items and also list items you want under the "Wanted to Buy" section. Members can place ads for free!

Looking forward to seeing you out on the water this summer!
