Thank you so much for the funds to make it possible to compete in the US Women’s Match Race Championship in San Francisco this past August. Match Racing has opened the door for a lot of fun sailing opportunities, and I am excited to be able to partake in such great and competitive racing. The camaraderie on and off the water was amazing, and we learned from some of the best match racers, which made for some tight racing. We had some great battles on the water with a variety of conditions.. and as always, a lot of current. I’m looking forward to many more events racing with these women in the future. 

Thank you so much for supporting my C420 trip to the east coast this summer. I really appreciate your help in making this experience possible for me. Here is a brief summary of my three
week adventure in New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Thank you for your financial support in helping me to attend the 2018 Club 420 National Championship held at Brant Beach Yacht Club, Brant Beach New Jersey. I attend along with my skipper Sophia Devling.

Thank you for supporting Nathan Sih and I on our three-week Club 420 trip out East this summer.  We warmed up by competing in the Junior Olympics at Mission Bay Yacht Club, placing third in the 23-boat fleet and just missing qualifying for the US National double-handed Championship, the Bemis. 

Immediately after JO’s, we jumped on a red-eye from San Diego to Brant Beach, New Jersey for the C420 US Nationals, followed by the Hyannis Regatta on Cape Cod, and the C420 North Americans in Buzzards Bay. 

Thank you for supporting my C420 campaign on the east coast. I just finished my first regatta, C420 Nationals, in Brant Beach, NJ. Morgan and I finished 27th in the Gold Fleet, out of 146 total boats. At our second event, Hyannis, we placed 32nd. Unfortunately we made some major and costly mistakes, but we feel we are improving a lot and are excited to go to North Americans in New Bedford.

This past week, I was lucky enough to sail the US Youth Match Racing Championship in Oyster Bay, New York. Crewing for Porter Killian (BYC), I trimmed the jib and worked the pit on the Sonar, along with Jeffrey Petersen (BYC) and Derek Pickell (BCYC). This was my first match race regatta, and first time sailing a Sonar, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to compete with some of the most talented match race and keelboat sailors from around the country. Dave Perry, US Sailing Director and former head coach for the US Women’s Match Racing Team orchestrated the event in the form of a ‘clinegatta’, where the first two days were dedicated to a clinic, where the sailors could work on boat handling and tactics in preparation for the last three days of racing.
