You're In Command Racing and C.G. SAR put on demo in Detroit

The U.S. Coast Guard's Search and Rescue Team and the #40 You're In Command Racing team put on a 2 day demo on the Detroit River for the NAACP National Conference on July 9th and 10th. To start the demo a SAR swimmer was lowered onto the Y.I.C. Race boat while in 20mph winds and then the Y.I.C. boat made a number of speed passes in front of the C.G. Biscaynne Bay vessell which was open to the public for viewing, the Y.I.C. race boat then dropped off the SAR swimmer which simulated a person overboard and the rescue helo preformed a number of rescues and hovering tactics on the river.

On Tuesday night Gino Marrone was invited to the NAACP Armed Services and Veterans Affairs awards program, with the keynote speaker, The Honorable Michael Chertoff, Secretary-Department of Homeland Security and Admiral Thad W. Allen, Commandant-USCG.

The #40 Y.I.C. Racing Team looks forward to a number of events for 2007 with the U.S. Coast Guard on and off the race course.
