Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation: Sailor Stories

Reade Decker at the 2022 International Orange Bowl Regatta

Results

Orange Bowl 2022 was an event that challenge 78 boats to demonstrate their skills in a variety of conditions. Through the 4 days of racing, we saw consistent chop with breeze ranging from 4-18 knots. Cam Spriggs and I sailed well on day one, enjoyed the challenge of full breeze on days 2+3, and then despite being a heavier team set our goals on the podium for a light air day on the fourth day of racing. This was my third time sailing at Orange Bowl and I am thrilled that Cam Spriggs and I sailed to second place in a competitive fleet. Thank you for the funding that made this experience possible.
