Thank you for helping to support my trip to Marblehead Massachusetts this summer for the 2024 Rose Cup Youth Match Race Championship. This was my first travel regatta for my match racing and my team and we all had a memorable time competing together back east.
Sailing in Sonars was something that my team and I had never done before this event, so learning a new boat was a challenge for our team at first. The two day clinic run by Dave Perry before the regatta allowed us the opportunity to work through some of our boat handling and also work on our overall speed.
During this regatta, there were great sailing conditions with a range of 2-16 knots. Racing in these conditions was hard, but we felt great improvement in our sailing throughout the event. Overall, it was an amazing experience for our team to be able to race against some of the best youth match racers in the U.S. and I look forward to competing in more Rose Cups in the future with my BYC team.
Thank you again for your support.
