Brad Read, executive director of Sail Newport, is our newest blogger. He'll be posting to our new Sailing Blog, which will be featured all summer long on projoSports and on our Outdoors page. You can take a look at Read's first post now: It contains items about the summer sailing calendar, Sail Newport educational programs, the 100th anniversary of the Barrington Yacht Club, and PUMA Ocean Racing team training.

You can e-mail kim.cooper@sailnewport.org if you have news items, photos or anecdotes that you would like to add to the blog.
