ODP athlete Isabella Mendoza Cabezas secures top 10 at ILCA U21 Worlds 🎉

After seven days of tough competition and lots of good lessons learned, Isabella finished 9th in one of the toughest fleets in the world 🤙🏻 Conditions ran the gamut in Lanzarote, Spain, from 10 to 30 knots and challenging current conditions.

“Honesty, it was a really steep climb back up,” she said. “The last two days I managed to get back into my groove and clinch top ten. Although the ending was bittersweet, I am grateful for the lessons learned.”
