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. Tough racing with the best Nacra sailors in the world followed. We found our speed again in the moderate, flatter conditions of the last two days and raced a Gold fleet series that we are so proud of - top tens, some killer starts, pace on top teams, and downwind performance. We moved forward in the scores and closed a large point gap on boats ahead of us. Most importantly we met many smaller process goals of routine, psychology, setup, and preparation. Yesterday we packed Belle Starr up in a container to Japan, and now we head back to the states for some intensive training with the squad for the next few months - gotta tackle that seastate and breeze speed and come back stronger! Thank you for your support! We are lucky to represent you, and excited to report that the team has the momentum it needs to keep climbing the mountain... onward and upward! 🙂
