Posts: 3,116 Annapolis, MD | Under the heading... sailors are sailors.... or.... where are they now? Carolijn Brower is on the crew of the all woman's SCA Volvo round the world (aka Whitebread) race boat. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/23/s...-nyt-region&WT.nav=inside-nyt-regionthat answers my question.... where was Carolijn in the N17 medal hunt.... she was a top 10 helm in the Tornado class. Good news... New boat to root for!!

Posts: 3,116 Annapolis, MD | <****... heroic story of the unknown, dark horse sailor, who fights the odds, battles the hardships, works three jobs and trains at 5 AM and goes to the Olympic trials as an unknown and WINS... and so this proves that they had more discipline then the other guys... cough cough...This is just Hollywood fantasy land told to us time and again by the flacks on TV with every olympic sport.. Or we make this story up.. .... well..... we would have won a medal except the other guys use pros.... After you wrap the guy in american flag and a great story ...the fantasy becomes fact. It was extraordinary DISCIPLINE that won the medal.
(Oh... ... I thought Caroljn had stayed with their kid and was running a sailing business not having paid close attention)
