Thank you so much to the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for funding my trip to Stonington, Connecticut where I was able to compete at the New England Championship.
I was able to test my current skills against the top sailors around the country in a series of 6 challenging races. The wind was unpredictable and stretched from a consistent 12 knots to a dead 0 knots. The races were quite difficult as there were 61 of the top sailors all on one race course competing to win. I improved my starting abilities and ability to forget everything that happened the race before because each race provided a completely unique wind pattern.
Overall, I am perpetually grateful for the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for funding this experience that helped me expand and test my sailing skills.
