Holey Cow! LLSC Sailors don't often wind up in the news, making CNN or ABC, or even Al -Jazeera may be one thing but winding up in the esteemed "Sailing Arnachy", well that is just the summit!
Congrats to Roger and his team for doing just that! Excerpt below, A pic of JAWS and the whole story on the resurrection of the Melges 24 fleet can be read at Sailing Anarchy website!

"Roger Counihan’s Just Add Water team (Lake Lanier, GA) is a Melges 24 staple, and he finished a solid 3rd Corinthian and 11th overall.  Roger thinks the fleet’s new look is awesome: “The Corinthians by themselves are a very strong fleet, and in every race there are Corinthian teams sticking it to the pros.  There’s nothing better than seeing an America’s Cup sailor or World Champion behind you – those are always great stories for the bar.  At the same time, its great to see what the pros are doing – how are they trimming their jib, where is their traveler, how hard are they soaking.   Plus, as a fan of sailing, watching strong teams full of sailmakers, Olympians, and boat builders go head to head in the same boat we sail is pretty cool.”
