Laser fleet start
Chilling at the coach boat with OST Coach Chris Cowan.
Another local regatta is in the books! Royal Hamilton Yacht Club was our host for the Lilac Regatta. After no racing on Saturday due to no wind, we sailed five races in marginal hiking to light wind on Sunday. Racing was extremely close, and consistency was the name of the game. I managed to secure the win after finishing in the top 4 every race. I stayed focused on my starts and upwind technique, and this placed me consistently in a good place at the first windward and allowed me to stay in the game every race. Racing in such a small fleet has its own unique challenges but I consider it good practice for the future when I look forward to racing in some medal races.
