Last, but certainly not least! Meet, John Ring!

From building a streamlined GOT Flashes tracking app to lending a hand (and a cold beer) at regattas, John’s impact goes far beyond the water.

The class is truly lucky to have such a devoted volunteer. And honor his work by logging your Lightning days on gotflashes.com

THANK YOU, JOHN ❀️

Meet, Bob Astrove!

Bob Astrove has been a driving force behind the Lightning Class community for years, building connections, creating opportunities, and bringing people together both online and on the water.

His impact spans everything from organizing events and improving communication systems to making decades of class history searchable and accessible. He continues to innovate, lead, and give back in ways that shape the future of the class.

Be like Bob Astrove. ⚑️
