| Ian Robinson Class: Club 420 Position: Skipper Hometown: Grosse Pointe Woods, MI High School: U of D Jesuit 2012 Emily Johnson Class: Club 420 Position: Crew Hometown: Grosse Pointe Park, MI High School: University Liggett School 2012 We started sailing a C420 together in June 2008. Ian sailed optis for 5 years before that, and did a lot of racing. In 2007, Ian received the DRYA season award for 2nd place in opti red. Emily had previously sailed a C420 for 1 year and optis for 2 years, but had limited racing experience. We learned a lot during the summer of 2008, and had a lot of fun. As the summer went on, we had more and more success and realized that we made a pretty good team. In July 2008, we went to our first travel regatta at Lake Cowan, OH, for the Bemis Area E semifinals. In August 2008, we traveled to Kingston, Ontario, for the CORK regatta. Since then, we traveled to Miami for the Orange Bowl regatta and to Jensen Beach, FL for the C420 Advanced Racing Clinic and again for the C420 Midwinter Championship. In the spring of 2009, we plan on trying high school sailing. We plan to sail as a team throughout our high school years, and these are some of our goals: * go to US Youth Champs more than once * win a major youth sailing event * sail in 5 or more I420 regattas * represent Area E in the Bemis finals more than once * WIN!!! |
