Here is the story on Taylor Palmer and Julian Roots :
Both are 16 years old and have been sailing for 6 to 7 years out of the Miami Yacht Club. Both are actually skippers, but for high level competition they team up. Julian was the Gold Medal winner at the 2003 Orange Bowl Green Fleet, after having sailed for only 5 months. Taylor was not far behind. Their coaches have been Leandro Spina from the start of their sailing life, Jamie Livingston has taken over the catamaran coaching the past few year, and before they had some coaching by Michael Siau. The MYC is very committed to catamaran youth sailing and you read more stories in the CABB (Catamaran Association of Biscayne Bay) postings, where they continuously sail against top notch catamaran sailors.
They are looking forward to the 2009 Northamericans in Cork
