Summer camp at CYC, 2014

It means so much to me that you continue to fund my sailing. Because of SMBSF’s fantastic support, I was able to sail all summer and I won the award for “Most Improved.” I couldn’t have done this without you.

U.S. Sailing Women’s Single-Handed Championship

2013

Neill Clinic in Chicago, 2013

This clinic was an incredibly valuable experience: not only did we learn from both coaches and other sailors, but we met so many new people and made so many new friends that we will know throughout the rest of our sailing careers. Although the lack of wind and other weather obstacles like fog did not cooperate with the coaches’ original plans, we still utilized our time wisely and created it into a very worthwhile experience.

Rhode Island at the Brooke Gonzalez Clinic, 2013

I learned so much from all of the amazing coaches and filled an entire notebook with notes. It was a great opportunity to sail on the East coast for the first time, and I was appropriately challenged by the sailing conditions.

Thank you so much for giving me this wonderful opportunity to sail all year. I have had tremendous amounts of fun and I have learned so much. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for this, because of you, sailing has become passion

Ida Lewis Clinic and Regatta Lake Minnetonka, MN, 2012

We were very fortunate to have access to brand new equipment, professional coaches, and to be among a great group of girls all serious about the sport of sailing. The two days of clinic taught us so much about lake sailing and tuning, and the three race days were the most fun and rewarding we could remember.
