Home sweet home to training in the cold.

Saturday 20th December, 2008

After three months of what seems like non-stop racing we now have a short break from travelling over Christmas. Despite the break from events, the jobs list seems to be every growing as we put everything in place ready to start 2009 running. Our first event in the New Year will be Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta, the first event where Ladies Match Racing will be combined with the other Olympic sailing disciplines.

We are also finally getting the opportunity to do some training together! Since Ally and I teamed up in September we’ve been to so many events that we have actually done very little training together. With the very kind support of friends at Poole YC we’ve had some really useful days out on the water. Sailing in R19s (unique to Poole YC) we’ve been working on boat handling and have been spending some really good time on our communication prestart. Despite it getting VERY chilly, we’ve got more days lined up in the run to Christmas and plenty more left to work on.

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
