Thank you very much for your financial grant support of my trip to Jensen Beach, FL for the C420 Mid Winter Championships. I had a great time competing in the 100 boat fleet this year. The weather was a little tricky, and did not always cooperate, only allowing a total of 8 races in 3 days. I had the privilege of Marbella Marlo flying down from College to compete with me. It was great to get back into competition. I look forward to many more C420 events this Spring and Summer.

This past few months have been busy for me traveling to Miami to race i420s. Through your generous support this has been possible. I have competed in the i420 Orange Bowl, the i420 North American Championships and the i420 Mid Winter Championships all hosted in Coconut Grove, Miami Florida.

My success in these events has earned my partner, Tyler Wood, and me an invitation to the US National Team for i420s and an opportunity to compete in the i420 World Championships in Italy. This is a great honor and achieving this invitation would not have been possible with out the continued support of NHSF. I am proud to be representing the our Newport Bay at these National events.

Thank you for your support allowing me the opportunity to travel East to Florida to compete in the 2021 I420 Midwinter Championship at the US Sailing Center, Miami, Florida. This was such a great event for me. Though my results for this event are below my previous regatta results, this event provided me with an opportunity to work on my tactics, my skippering, and my overall technique. I feel so much stronger now as my results improved as the regatta continued.

I would like to thank the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for financially supporting my recent trip to Jensen Beach, Fl to compete in the 2021 c420 Midwinter Championship. It was an amazing experience, and I had so much fun. I was able to sail in remarkably different conditions from those of light, shifty Newport. In addition, thanks to my skipper, I got to meet some of the top sailors of the fleet, which was very exciting.

Thank you so much for helping me race in Orange Bowl 2020. This year, I sailed as a crew for a friend of mine who lives in New York. Because of the pandemic and focusing on my studies, we weren’t able to train as much as we would like this fall. The same goes for my skipper, Amelia. This regatta was definitely a blip in my sailing results, but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t do it again. Orange Bowl is a great regatta to compete in. The level of racing is high and it’s never cold. No matter how many times we sail Orange Bowl, we always learn something.
