As the assistant sailing coach with one of the top sailing schools in the country, Dan Thompson knows the dedication and preparation necessary for sailing success. In his case, Dan’s goals are not purely results-driven—he wants to find a class to settle into. We are confident he will find the dedicated, friendly and competitive atmosphere of the Lightning Class to be amongst the best!

Dan’s crew will include Austin Kana (‘09), Josh Parks (‘09) and James Landi (‘08). Dan and his crew are all four-year members of the Hobart and William Smith sailing team.
