Mike is now an A fleet sailor in div 16 and quickly approaching the top group. I only met Sarah once at the CISA clinic in Hobie 16s. She basically handed it do all the boys on that weekend. Both are fantastically great kids. Glad to hear they did so well and looking forward to racing against them myself. Way to go guys! | | | Re: Siau/Newberry Finish 3rd in France
