Video: Mexico Training Camp

Delta Lloyd Regatta

This past week I was in Medemblik, Netherlands for the Delta Lloyd Regatta.

Medemblik delivered a mean mix of plenty of wind, rain, and temperatures hovering around the  9 degree mark all week. I sailed a disappointing qualification series, just missing cutoff for gold fleet by 3 points (only 25 of 70 boats sail in the gold fleet in the Eurosaf scoring system). I had a solid second half of the regatta, finishing in the top five in 4 of 7 races, winning the final race to take 28th overall. Full results here.

This event wraps up my European season for the year. I will be training and competing at home for the rest of the summer.

WesMex Regatta

I competed in the WesMex Regatta held at Vallarta Yacht Club this past weekend to wrap up my three weeks of training in Mexico.

I won the event with a race to spare after a tight battle all weekend with fellow Canadian Sailing Team members Evert McLaughlin (2nd) and Tom Ramshaw (3rd). Results here.

I now have a week at home before heading to Europe for Eurosaf events in Lake Garda, Italy and Medemblik, Netherlands.

Training in Mexico

I am currently in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Mexico training at the International Sailing Academy.

My three-week training block will wrap up with the WesMex regatta this weekend.

Stay tuned for a video of my training block.
