The regatta weekend in pictures. Thanks to Jack Bao from Murray’s Bay for the photos

Winter Champs regatta was held at Murray’s Bay this weekend and it was great to have 5 boats from around the country attend.
I sailed with Finn Balchin for the 2 days and we sailed quite well considering we just jumped in for the regatta.
We were going fast thanks to Doylesails and enjoyed the weekends racing.

On this cold miserably rainy day in Auckland its nice to look back at the Youth Worlds in Garda....
Loved sailing there but was hoping for more of the famous Ora....

Cam back again now the event is finished. We are very proud to represent New Zealand at the Youth Worlds.
While we are very disappointed in our results, we are happy with the dedication we put towards this event in our training 5 times a week.

We will get home, decompress, debrief and learn to take towards our own future in this sport of sailing.
We already know our programme wasn’t up to scratch of the top nations and teams.
We never got the garda conditions we were hoping for on our part of the lake for this week. However this isn’t an excuse.
We are unsure of our future steps in the sport but will let you know once we know.
A massive thank you to Yachting New Zealand, NZL Sailing Foundation and all the coaches at the event.
We want to thank our sponsors Zhik and Doyle Sails and our clubs Wakatere Boating Club and Murrays Bay Sailing Club.
Finally to our families for all their time, support and financial backing for the last couple of years. Thank you.
