Most likely, the history books will show the 2014 San Diego to Vallarta race as not a particularly fast race, but it wasn’t a slow one either.

On Christmas day, Rebecca McElvain and Scott Sinks traveled to Miami Florida to compete in the 2013 Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta. This was our first major regatta sailing together in C420s, so we were excited to test our skills against the country.

Paris Henken and Aine Fretwell completed the Women's Snipe Nationals, their first regatta together, with a fifth place out of 21 boats. Paris learned a lot about the snipe and found it really exciting to be able to sail outside her normal skiff sailing.
