Mark Lyttle was elected ILCA President at the ILCA AGM in Beijing last weekend. He replaces long term President San Franciscan Tracy Usher. Tracy steered ILCA through several stormy seas in his term and he has been elected to the ILCA Hall of Fame for his years of service.
Mark Lyttle originally from the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland began sailing Lasers in 1977 and represented Ireland at the 1996 Olympic Games. He was World Grand Masters Champion in 2018.
Following his election in his President’s Message #1 Mark said “As President, I would like to lead a World Council that listens to our community, is open and responsive and works together to promote our class and the sport as a whole.” He said that he will publish a report in December outlining the AGM outcomes, initiatives and priorities for the year ahead.
