Oliva Norton at the CJ Buckley
Despite being a Junior in high school, this year was my first CJ Buckley, and it was definitely one of my favorite regattas I went to. This year, the races were in Warwick Rhode Island, and the races occurred over two days. My team consisted of no one I knew before the regatta, so it gave me the chance to make new friends, some of whom were also from Southern California! This regatta gave me the opportunity to sail C420s college style, (no spinnakers or trapezes) which allowed me to experience a little bit of what college sailing is like. Furthermore, CJ Buckley has a college night in which rising juniors and seniors can meet and speak with college coaches about recruitment. It is the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation that makes these experiences and opportunities possible for so many sailors. Thank you so much for your support!
