Iris Vogel
Iris is the Vice Commodore of the Huguenot Yacht Club.
She is instrumental in getting things done behind the scenes, so the rest of us can go sailing: she is the liaison between the Laser Frostbite Committee and the Flag Officers of the Club.
Besides being a critical member of the Frostbite Committee, she is one of the HYC Junior Sailing Program's Co-Chairs. In a "typical year," Iris races sailboats 12 months of the year. Iris campaigns her J-88 Deviation from April thru October on Long Island Sound. She hosts Jr. Sailors, 14 y.o. and older, in the Youth Challenge Series all summer.
She also competes in Charleston, SC, Block Island, Newport, Lake Ontario, Chicago, Key West, St. Petersburg, etc., throughout the year. Iris then races a Laser Radial in Huguenot's frostbite program from November to March.
The small boat programs at HYC would not be what it is today without Iris.
