2009 Lightning Boat Grant Skipper – Jessica Lombard
Crew - Stephanie Boucher, Caroline Trottier




Jessica Lombard

Jessica Lombard and her all-female crew of Stephanie Boucher and Caroline Trottier are motivated to be the best-prepared team on the race course. They will build their skills racing with a powerful local group of Lightning sailors, including Peter Hall, Jamie Allen, Jay Deakin and Mike Holly. In addition to weekly fleet racing and the Canadian Open Championship, Jessica plans to race in the US at the ACCs and North American Championship. Coaching in the Montreal area has given her the experience to know the benefits and balance of on-water training, fitness and mental preparation. Keep your
eyes to the North—Jessica’s influence coupled with the spark from the 2008 Lightning Junior Worlds (held in Montreal) should ignite some new interest from the youth in this area!
