This year at C420 Midwinters I had a lot of fun sailing in the different conditions especially when it got windy. My skipper Lincoln Betz and I were flying on the downwinds just rushing through the puffs, riding waves and speeding by other boats. And on the reaches I was flat out on the trapeze getting sprayed by waves hitting our bow splashing up into the boat. All in all it was super fun to go sail Midwinters this year and I really enjoyed it. 

I appreciate all the volunteers, coaches and parents that helped make this regatta happen. And thank you to the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for your support.
