Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation: Sailor Stories

Piercen Giordani at the Junior. Sabot Nationals

Results

This Summer SDYC hosted Junior Sabot Nationals in which I had the honor to compete in. This was my fourth Jr. Sabot Nationals and one for the memory book! I received the surprise of a lifetime when Charlie Buckingham asked me to sail his sabot 7938 for the event. Having my team, coaches, family and Charlie cheering me was awesome. My goal was to place top ten in the gold fleet, unfortunately I missed my goal by ONE point! I guess it's true when your coaches tell you that every point matters! I look forward to competing in numerous regattas this year and want to thank the NHSF for your support as I pursue my passion and follow my dreams.
