This past week we, Julia Stewart and Bennett Simpson, flew as a team to Bristol, RI to compete in the US Youth Champs in the 29er fleet. It was a great experience and we learned many lessons from it.

Olympian Paris Henken returned to SDYC in early October to coach an advanced 29er clinic with a stellar coaching team including her brother Sterling Henken, Noah Nyenhuis and B Lindsay. Saturday’s focus was drills to improve down-speed boat maneuvering.

I, along with 10 of my HPYS 29er teammates, had the opportunity to sail for 5 straight days up at Alamitos Bay. While it was not the windy Long Beach area conditions we were hoping for, the team still had a great time learning and competing together.

We (Kevin Cason/skipper and and Holland Vierling/crew) recently attended our 3rd US Sailing Youth Championship, this year located in Bristol, Rhode Island. This was a super fun regatta for us. So cool to see our growth as a team over the past 3 Youth Championship races.

We just came home from Miami, after participating in both a pre-event clinic followed by the Open Orange Bowl Regatta in the 29er Class. The Open Orange Bowl event also included Nacra 15s, Snipes, and i420s on our racecourse, run by Coconut Grove Sailing Club.
