Tate Christopher at the 2023 C420 Midwinters
First, I would like to thank the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for supporting me in my sailing in the past. I had a great time at the C420 Midwinter Championship. The weather was super nice and c420 Midwinters is always one of my favorite 420 regattas. Although my results were not as I hoped, I still learned a lot and had a lot of fun with all of my friends. The racing was very tricky, and very shifty with a variety of conditions. The first day was very windy, up to 20 knots of breeze. I always do well in the wind and this was my best day. I was in fifth overall. The second day was light to medium breeze with very hard conditions that did not quite go my way, but I was still hoping to turn it around with a good last day. Unfortunately, the last day we didn’t have any wind and racing was canceled. I still had a lot of fun at this regatta and I could not have done it without my crew Taylor Bartell. I can't wait to keep competing this summer, thank you!
