Sailor Spotlight: Kira Munger

An interview with 25-year-old Kira Munger, Assistant Editor for Blue Water Sailing Magazine and Head Coach for East Greenwich High School Sailing. Munger is a charter member of the newly reinstated Fleet 169 in Newport, Rhode Island. She got into the Thistle through her brother, who co-owned #1337. Munger appreciates the prevalence of competitive wooden boats in the class and the supportive wooden boat community. Her favorite Thistle memory is the Newport Fall Championship on Halloween with Fleet 169.
