This February I had the opportunity to sail at the North American Midwinter East Regatta in Clearwater Florida.
The Ontario Sailing Team arrived a few days prior to the start of the regatta to train and prep for the local conditions.
With 100 boats in the fleet we sailed 6 races to split the fleet and this year I was pleased to meet my goal of qualifying for the gold fleet (the top half of the fleet). In the final round the gold fleet sailed 4 more races where I finished up 37th overall (100 boats total), with my best race being an 11th place finish.
Overall a great experience and I am very pleased with my progress over last year's placing of 42/59 in Silver Fleet or 101st (118 boats total).
