420 Worlds! Italy

8/1/2016

Our experience at the Worlds was incredible. We learnt an amazing amount from getting to race in such a large, high quality fleet. We picked up a few techniques from the top girls, as well as our coach Belinda Stowel from WA and Fernando (top coach from Spain.)...
​We're keen to return to the water soon, and be able to practice putting them into play. The tactical and race knowledge we gained was huge, and again we look forward to using this to help us make big improvements. We got a range of conditions over there, with some decent wind in the lead up to the regatta, all of qualifying in light, and a med-heavy breeze for the last 2 days. The chop and tide were also big factors. On top of all this there's also so many little things we learnt from traveling to regattas, chartering boats and international regatta protocol etc. While racing was extremely tough at many points, we had many highlights throughout different stages of different races, especially the last race finishing with a 4th.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to get that experience and learn so much. Huge thank you's go to Hart Marine and all the friends, family and MYC members who made our trip so successful, and to coaches Johnny & Belinda.
We're currently having a break off the water, getting back on top of school work and working hard on our fitness. We plan to get back onto the water the first week of September, and before then will get the boat in good shape, and make sure Hart Marine stickers are on the side and sails!
