May 14, 2010
Newport, RI

It was a great day for sailing again despite the overcast skies. We ended up finishing second overall to Sally Barkow after losing 3-1 in the finals. Sally sailed a very good series and definitely deserved to win today. Placing third, after winning the petit-finals, was Genny Tulloch.

1-1 In The Semis (Day 3)

May 7, 2010
Calpe, Spain

We had a lot of racing today at the XII International Women's Match Race Criterium in Calpe, Spain. We wrapped up the quarter-finals first today against Spain's Cameselle. We won that round 3-1 to advance to the semi finals. The winner of the quarters was France's Claire Leroy who got to pick who she raced in the semi's. She choose Spain's Tamara Echegoyan, so we were paired up with Australia's Katie Spithill. We raced two races and finished 1-1 at the end of the day.
