A Love 4 Sailing

10-17 knots in a gusty North wind we had three races. Sailed well in race one. I started in middle of line and played the left. Finished 4th. Wind shifted right and next two races were sailed in changing conditions. As in the past windy day my best race was the first race. My energy level seems to lower through the day. Finished tenth overall. Second disabled American. My finishes at the Nationals(4th), the Pre-trials(3rd) and here in MOCR(10th) still is good enough for 1st on the US Disabled Sailing Team for 2.4meter discipline. Thank you to all my supporters. I couldn’t of done it without your help.

On a side note: I was classified as a “1″ on the disabled classification system. This means I now qualify the sail the two-person discipline SKUD 18. My plans are to changes classes as I am the only “1″ sailing 2.4’s . See SKUD 18 for more info.

Light t moderate winds–7-12knots  Three races with good starts.  Struggled again with straight line speed.  Finished 6, 17, 14.  Got caught on the wrong side in the second race and then played follow the leader with a large right wind shift. Just seem to be lacking energy all week.  I sit in 10th with five races to go.  My decision to go to the two person boat may have been made.  Just need to sell my boats and buy the SKUD 18.  Thanks to all my supporters and good sailing.

Jaime sailed better with two fourths and a 12th. Hes actually beating me.  I now have a goal.
