More...Happy New Year! We are thrilled to start 2023 off with a bang: spending 6 weeks training hard with the international Nacra fleet in Lanzarote, Canary Islands (Spain) in big wind and waves! The training here has been incredible, and we are proud to say that we have made an immense amount of progress on downwind speed (as was our goal after...

However, preparation and thinking quick on our feet gave us the opportunity to maximize each day to the fullest.We started off March testing our boathandling skills in short course racing.

More...Summer 2019 training in Long Beach, California was one of the highlights of the 2020 quad. Lots of improvements with great coaching by Sally Barkow, Jay Glaser, and Phil Muller. 3 hours or more a day in the consistent conditions of Long Beach was champagne sailing.

More...We spent 4 weeks training in Auckland before the 2019 Worlds started. There were many international teams who had the same idea. Because of this, there was no shortage of top notch athletes to race against each day. We would spend an hour each day on speed and individual skills before joining in with other countries on a race course. Four weeks is a...
More...What a week at the Nacra 17 Europeans! 24th overall. Four days in conditions that showed our weaknesses and we still ground our way into Gold fleet.

More...It’s been a great summer for USA 50 Racing. We have been training in Long Beach, California and have gotten a little faster and stronger every day.
