I finished 8th in the Miami OCR, an ISAF Grade 1 event. Finishing in the top half of the fleet also completed the performance criteria of my Youth World Championship qualification. Results and report.
I will be competing in the Midwinter East Championship, another Grade 1 event, in two weeks in Clearwater, Florida.

Orange Bowl International Youth Regatta and Training Camp
The Orange Bowl regatta was held in Miami, Florida December 27 - 30. In the laser fleet there were 40 boats. The event was primarily a training event for me. It allowed me to identify what I need to work on in the upcoming camp, which starts on the 1st of January. I finished 7th overall. Results here. Report to come.
