New Orleans 420 Nationals


While looking out at the ice covered harbor we are thinking back of the fun we had at the Nationals in New Orleans. Over 20 interscholastic sailing teams from all over the country were present and the boats were awesome. 

On the second day the winds were gusting well over 20 knots and it was pure survival and tons of fun. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the 3 Village sailors (myself and Trevor Munch - my trusty crew) met our buddies from the Stony Brook School and their great coach Capt. George Linzee. He must be the most passionate sailor (other than my dad) that I know.

We did great for our first major regatta. We even had a couple of  2nd places in some heats and came in 7th overall. A great experience !
