15th out of a very competitive fleet of 40 boats including several former World Champions. Great to see the improvement day to day. Day one which had three races was very challenging - light and shift wind conditions, and we were caught on the wrong side of the course in all three races. Day two was more stable. We ended the day - in the breeziest conditions - with 1st in that race (Race 6). Day three had only one race due to an incoming storm front, and we ended up strong with a 3rd (out of 40). Dring the race, we went from looking strong, to looking horrible, to looking strong due to wind shifts. This gave us a 15th overall which is respectable. Great team of Tony Rey, Dave Hughes, and Nikki Brunoe with Chris Busch as coach.

10th overall out of 34. This was a top 3rd finish for us, and a dramatic improvement from our 1st Etchells series. we managed to to beat two previous Etchells world champions and were within one point of another. Great team-work and crew with Tony Rey, Dave Hughes, Nikki Bruno, and Chris Busch as coach. Only one day of racing - Saturday, Feb 3rd - very light and shift. We had four great starts before RC managed to get one going.

Toughest challenge yet for me in sailing - new boat (for me), new class, Olympic / World Champion Competitors. 1st big event on the Etchells after a total of 6 sailing days. Accomplished goal of mid-fleet and see many areas where we can improve. Challenging racing, tough competition.
