Great news! Marin Sailing School's blind sailing team, California One, performed better-than-ever at this year's U.S. Blind Sailing National Championships at Newport, Rhode Island held August 25-27.In the photo above, we're in the #2 boat, racing in Sail Newport's fleet of J/22's on beautiful Narragansett Bay. These racing boats are quick and quite responsive- providing the crew with plenty of excitement.
Still relatively new to this experienced group of American sailboat racing teams, California One scored a first-time-ever fourth place finish in the second race (of ten) at this year's national competition. After completion of all ten races over three days, the national title was ultimately awarded to the Boston-based team skippered by veteran racer Sengil Inkiala. The full results for the regatta can be found at www.ussailing.net/claggett/.
We'll keep you posted as to new developments at Marin Sailing School's Program for the Blind. Thanks again to all of our supporters for sending us to this year's national regatta- it was fantastic!
Best,
Al
