Laser Midwinters West


Laser midwinter west was a great event. We got to California YC four days before the regatta was to start for some excellent training. Despite colder than average temperatures we still managed to have a fantastic time.

The first day of the regatta brought 12 kts for the first race then building to 17 kts by the end of the day. My racing went well with solid finishes of 9th, 10th, and 8th.

Day 2 brought light air for the first race then building for the 2nd and 3rd before dying completely for the last. My results for the day were 4th, 10th, 21st, and 17th.

Day 3 started out with an AP as we waited for the wind to fill in. After 20 min there was enough to start and they got our first race going. I finished 6th. There was a little more wind for the next race and I finished 12th.

I was happy with the way I sailed this event and pleased with my 10th place over all finish. You can find results here on the regatta site.
