Thank you so much to NHSF for helping me attend the 2021 Youth Orange Bowl. My skipper Reade Decker and I spent months leading up to the event training. We were happy with our finish as we placed 7th out of around 85 boats. It was amazing to fly to Florida during December and sail in warm weather in conditions similar to those at home. The entire regatta including the practice days was very light, with a range from 3-7 knots. In order to perform well we had to put our attention to watching the wind and staying focused. Along with this, it was really important to have good boat handling to be able to go anywhere on the race course. There were postponements almost everyday of the regatta which was unfortunate but fun because everyone was able to hang out. Overall this event was one of my favorites and I am so glad I was able to attend! Thank you for making it happen!
