Nick the Quick

Nick Scandone, blasted onto the disabled sailing scene last year at the 2004 NACC/IC, since then has qualified as #1 on the US Disabled Sailing Team (USDST) and won for the second time in a row the NACC/IC Single-handed division. I did a google on Nick and found a few things from his sailing past. Hot off the press is the fact that Nick just won the 2005 2.5m World Championships!

An Ullman Sails article on Winning in Naples Sabots Nick helped pen.
Nick named to the 1988 College All American Sailing Team
2000 Snipe PCC results
Most recently placing 6th at the 2005 IFDS Worlds.
Sailing Anarchy has always covered all aspects of sailing and as fringe as disabled sailing may be we will not let it go un-noticed. So we shot Nick a few questions so all you other (Able-Bodied) sailors might get some insight into what makes someone who faces a life changing trauma or in Nick's case....well you read and decide for yourself. Medical research may stall for monetary or political reasons but the biological time clock ticks on. - Dawg
