Ellen Turk, age seventeen, is a senior at Nyack High School. She
lives a block away from Nyack Boat Club, where she has spent her
summers sailing her Laser2, 420 and laser on the Hudson River since
age 8. She began competitive youth racing at age 12 and since then
has attended many regattas. She crewed on Joan Hurban's Lightning
for one season and attended the 2007 Atlantic Coat Championship
Lightning Regatta with her friend Avram Dorfman. She is an active
member of the Laser2 fleet in Newport, RI where she is constantly
introduced to many different high-intensity racing boats. She has

team will be a key factor in her college choice. |
