Canadian Sailing Team!

They say 'New Year, New You' right? Well, I know it's almost the end of February, but earlier this month I received an email notifying me that I had qualified for the 2014 Canadian Sailing Team. We had some tough qualifiers comprised of CORK back in August and Miami OCR which we competed in at the end of January. Myself, Corinne Peters and Violet Stafford are the rookies joining the radial squad, already comprised of Isabella Bertold, Brenda Bowskill and Ingrid & Claire Merry. Becoming a member of the CST brings many opportunities and I'm so excited for the coming year and all the new adventures. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me in my sailing and those who have helped me accomplish this major step in my sailing career!!

Miami OCR 2014

Tough week in Miami. The conditions were less than ideal with only 6 races completed in 5 days, and two days with no racing at all. The days that we did have racing, the conditions were challenging and I felt that although I learned a lot, I did not perform as well as I could have. Once again, Miami had drawn many top sailors from around the world and it is always a good experience to test myself against them. Although we spent a lot of time waiting for wind in the boat park, it was an awesome chance to get to know some of the other international competitors who I will hopefully get to see more of as I continue to expand my sailing circuit!
