Disabled Clearwater sailor has sights set on 2012 IFDS Worlds

Many disabled sailors, including St. Pete's Jen French, Cape Coral's Paul Callahan and Estero's Mark Bryant, hope to take advantage of a "home field advantage" in the 2012 IFDS Worlds on Charlotte Harbor. Count Clearwater's Brad Kendall among them, too.

Kendall, a double-amputee following an airplane crash that killed his father and best friend, competes in the Sonar class. He racked up a 3rd place in the 2011 Miami OCRs in January. He was named US Sailing 2010 Paralympian of the Year. This Victoria Lim story, was originally published on the Bright House Sports Network website, and subsequently appeared on Scuttlebutt.

Looking forward to seeing Kendall on Charlotte Harbor.
