it goes on and on

Well, it does suck that Dan is suffering from his periodic back troubles, but he has been to see a lot of physio, and i’ve been out every scheduled day. The breeze has been up, so training with other crews has been challenging, but there’s still lots of learning going on. I’ve been [...]

World Cup #1

Miami is done! Our coach and other coaches are pleased with our performance, and we’re pretty happy too. To be honest, i’m pretty damn pissed off with my mistakes, because we should be the best, but this was an amazing event and fleet for learning. Due to the variety in skill throughout [...]

Medal Race

A bit of a rough day yesterday. We went in to too much of a safety mode due to the wind and waves, which caught us out of our routines, and we were therefore punished. We made some mistakes, the worst and first being almost sinking 2 49ers, and hospitalizing four perfectly good [...]

The Final Four

Today we were going good. It’s hard to get too punchy with the start line because we’re already on our back foot due to our OCS on the score board. That being said, there was a decent puff out to the right in 2 of the 3 races which meant it was good [...]

TIGHT TIMES

This event is full on! Even though we’re missing a few British boats, we’ve gained a few of the other top ten sailors on planet earth so the fleet is still pretty damn tough this year! We are still hanging in there and have better results than any of our previous Miami OCR’s. [...]

The Opener

We had a good consistent day, and we achieved all of our goals, but barely, and we still made some obvious and stupid mistakes. For the first time ever at Miami OCR we are leading Canada and we’re actually sitting in 3rd overall! We have to clean up some of our racing for [...]

This is the first World Cup event of our final stretch, the first for 2012, the golden year, and our last Miami Olympic Class Regatta as professionals. We’ll be having fun out there! People simply make better decisions when in good moods. No he moves have to be made tomorrow because we [...]

HEADS UP

We had a full, 4.5 hour session today. It was a bit long, but we had work to do. We started out with the 4 lap drill again…4 times. This drill is not a race, but we decided to incorporate hitting the shifts, and making the right decisions in addition to the [...]

1st & last

Today was our fourth day in a row of long, efficient training with our coach, Mark. We have been the first boat on the water and the last boat in, every single day, so far. We’ll continue this heavy work load until Thursday, when we’ll start throttling back on the time and leaving [...]

Biscayne Bay Battles

The past few days have been amazing in the building breeze. Our warm up still has been lots of tacks and gybes, but because more and more boats are showing up, we’ve gone into practice races. There hasn’t been that much wind, so the fleet has been pretty close together, with lots of [...]
