NICE INK -- "More in Common"

Nice article in the Marin Independent-Journal this week about John Sweeney and Tina Kleinjen, both of whom have been active in the Challenger Commission since its inception in April 2004. An excerpt:


John is Sausalito and Capetown, South Africa, have more in common than expensive real estate and stunning water views.

John Sweeney and Tina Kleinjen, co-founders of the defunct Sausalito Challenge, are now team managers and for Team Shosholoza, Africa's first challenge in the 154-year history of the America's Cup.

The Marin pair joined the team midway through the 2005 Acts, the America's Cup traveling road show held this year in Spain, Sweden and Sicily.

"We are committed." said Kleinjen. "It's like having our own team, but it's not."


Here is the link to the entire article, which includes notes on Dawn Riley and K-Challenge and Norbert Bajurin who is a Staff (past) Commodore of the Challenger of Record, Golden Gate Yacht Club. Norbert, coincindentally, is organizing the next Challenger Commission meeting set for San Francisco Monday and Tuesday 12-13 December at GGYC.
