  Passing the Mac Bridge-From Left: Martin Sandoval, Lou Sandoval, Caroline Sandoval As a 20 year veteran of the marine industry and past commodore of Chicago Yacht Club, Lou Sandoval is a treasured cheerleader for everything boating, with his views enriched by his Hispanic heritage and #girldad status. Sandoval comments on the topic of diversity in sailing: I can say that where there have been some progress, there are still many barriers. Over a beverage some time, I am happy to share how it took the greater part of six years on the dealer advisory council to one of the largest global marine manufacturers to just create marketing collateral that depicted women at the helm. Because, you know – it is her boat too. Traditional roles have depicted women sunning themselves in the cockpit, the bow or down below.

  Background: There are many clichés for sibling rivalry and family sailing programs that come to mind when you learn about two brothers racing on different boats.   The funniest one that comes to mind is “the family that sails together, stays together”.   Rather than go too far that road, we’d like to focus on one unique pair of brothers that tried something a bit different this year.  Brothers Martin Sandoval (owner of a CPA firm) and Lou Sandoval (Marine industry executive) have sailed the last 18 consecutive Races to Mackinac on one of their owned or chartered boats.   Due to heavy business demands, 2018 was the first year that they elected to sail on different boats.   2018 was Lou's 19th Mac- He raced on SV EAGLE, a Sydney 38 which raced in Section Five -ended up winning their section and placing 20th overall (1st boat under 40' to finish this year's grueling race) in the Mackinac Cup Division.   Younger brother Martin - raced aboard SV TANGO IN BLUE in section 3-
