I grew up sailing Optis, Bytes and Lasers on the Barnegat Bay on the Jersey Shore! After my junior career, I started coaching on the bay and did for 5 consecutive summers, still sailing and competing in Lasers and E-Scows. This experience led me to receiving training for coaching under the Royal Yachting Association in Australia and assistant coaching Hobart and William Smith's varsity sailing team.
Now it is my turn!
In receiving a berth for the Women's Laser Radial World Championship in Japan for July, 2009, I running a campaign! This includes coaches, on the water and physical training, traveling to and sailing in local and regional regattas and purcasing the necessary equipement. Traveling to compete in the actual event includes airline tickets, coach boat, entry fee, charter fees, gas, hotel and food!
