Dear Friends,
We did it! We won the Sail Melbourne Asia Pacific Regatta handily, coming out on top of the 48 boat women's 470 fleet, 16 points ahead of 2nd place! This is our first international regatta win as a team, and we are looking forward to many more! For complete results please visit the regatta site:
Here we are on top of the podium, next to the 3rd place Italian team:
L-R Erin Maxell, coach Skip Whyte and Isabelle Kinsolving.

We are feeling great going into the World Championships. We were successful in a variety of conditions, both windy and light. We have four days before racing starts again on Thursday, January 24th. We will measure our boat on Tuesday, January 22nd. The long-range forecast for Melbourne is calling for windy conditions for the beginning of the regatta -- just what we like best!
Best,
Erin and Isabelle |
