Sailing World Article:
She’s sweet, petite, and unassuming onshore and on the racecourse. But engage her in a final-leg tacking duel, or try to pass her on the run, and she’ll calmly and deftly put you in your place. That’s Jody Swanson, the 40-year-old, two-time Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year (1989 and 2005), and reigning queen of the Lightning class. From the lakes of her beloved Buffalo, N.Y., Swanson has emerged as one of the sport’s greatest women competitors, and the root of her success is no surprise.
Inducted into the Greater Buffalo Hall of Fame in 2006
Rolex Yachtwoman of the Year
