Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta

Wednesday 20th January, 2010

We’ve now been in Miami preparing for the Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta for a few days, and have had some great practice sessions. Having spent the last few months since Sail for Gold training in our new Elliott 6m boats we’re looking forward to competing again and finally testing how our training has been going! The regatta will be the first for us in the 2010 racing calendar, and the start of this year’s ISAF World Cup Series which we’re keen to defend having taken top spot last year!

Currently we’re chartering a boat for practice here, getting used to the conditions (and the climate, slightly improved from the UK!). We’re training against the other GBR team of Katie Archer, Nicky Muller and Lauren Martel, and have three more days of practice until racing starts on Monday.

There will be 24 teams from 16 nations competing from the 25th through to the 30th. With 206 matches scheduled in total it is going to be a busy week for all, in the first stage the fleet will be split into three round-robin groups of 8 boats. We’ll keep you posted!
