* A
long-time J/24 ace and supporter of the class, Mike Ingham, recently joined North Sails
to help them on their one-design programs in general. Mike is a past
J/24 North American and National Champion. In addition to his North
American and National titles in the J/24 class, he has placed second in
the J/24 World Championship and is an East Coast and Great Lakes
Champion. Mike will continue working out of his home in Rochester, NY,
where he lives with his wife and three children. Another long-time J/24
expert and champion, Vince Brun (btw he sailed in the first J/24
Midwinters in 1978 in Key West!!), had this to say about Mike, “he will
be a wonderful addition to our team of J/24 class experts and will give
us the opportunity to reach out to even more J/24 sailors nationwide.”
In addition to many victories on the race course, Mike has coached at
Cornell University, the University of Rhode Island and Yale University.
He has been a personal coach and training partner for many successful
sailors and has won numerous awards and including being named an
All-American at Cornell University in 1986. Photo is J/24 North
American Champion, Pat O'Toole using North Sails.
