Proud to announce that Allie and I qualified for the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider based on our performance at Sailing World Cup Miami last month!

This is a huge step forward and opens a lot of doors. The US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider provides top coaching, the Performance Enhancement Team (fitness, nutrition, sports psychologists, PT, etc.), financial support, logistical support, and marketing support. Of course this comes with many obligations, most notably and not surprisingly, a commitment to prepare to qualify for and compete in the next Olympic Games.

Here’s my bio page:

Fellow USST STS members for the 49erFX class are Anna Tunnicliffe (Gold medal, Laser Radial, 2008 and 5th, Women’s Match Racing, 2012) and Molly O’Bryan-Vandemoer (5th, Women’s Match Racing, 2012).

If you are interested in supporting me on my journey, please contact me using the “Support Us” side panel on the right hand side of this page. Starting this summer I plan to train and compete in events across North America and I am trying to raise the support necessary to compete at the 49erFX Worlds in France in September. Thank you!
