Sarah & Lizzy Newberry set a new standard for youth sailors at Miami Yacht Club this past week. See attached results for complete info.These two girls sailed exceptionally well and become the first ever all ladies team to win this regatta.

Sarah is just coming back from France with a 3rd place finish under her belt at the SL16 Gold Cup, wins this event and now is going up to New Jersey for the Hobie Nationals. Look out guys, this lady is some kind of fantastic sailor. What great fun.............

Jason Bilow and Eric Raybon qualified as second place finishers for the US SAILING team and will represent us in Kingston, Ontario next year at the ISAF Youth Worlds. ( Sarah is over 18 this year and can not attend the ISAF youth worlds)

Luke Lawrence and Alex Sachs were third. Luke certainly seemed to be having a good time in Miami. When I asked him if he was planning on coming out next year he was all smiles and said "YES"

We need more events kids can attend. Remember, they don't have money, transportation or boats. Any regatta for kids has to be set up specifically so they can sail or it won't work. We also need more clinics. The new SL16 was introduced at this event and all agreed this is one fast boat which is designed for children. If you are interested in putting on a clinic next year, contact me.
