The boys had a strong first day of sailing. They had 4 races and ended up 14th out of 45 boats. They got a 2nd place in one race. I know they are not supposed to be focusing on results, but I’m proud of them. They plan to work on starts tomorrow. They are sailing fast and apparently have good boat handling but agreed they need to work on getting off the line and trusting themselves. I tried to remind them to make this a regatta just about learning and working on pushing the limits a bit and not worrying about results. I’m sure that’s easier said than done.
Skipper Dane Wilson and crew Newt Cutcliffe team up to represent the USA and Santa Barbara Yacht Club at German Nationals and European Championships. Here is the story of the adventure...
