Hello from Weymouth, England!!
We are getting ready to start the Sail for Gold World Cup event here in Weymouth, England. We have been hard at work putting in a lot of hours leading into this event as it is the first part of our Olympic Games selection process.
The process for selection is pretty straight forward. We take our final overall finishing position at this event and carry that to our 2nd qualifying event later this year. You take your final overall finishing position at the 2nd event and add that to your finish here at Sail for Gold. The USA boat with the lowest combined overall score will be the Olympic Representative in 2012!!!
Knowing this process my main goal for this event will be to put as many boats between myself and the other USA Finn Sailors. My main competition will come from Caleb Paine and Luke Lawerence.
This event is the 1st step in a 3 step process we have been working towards for quite some time so there are a lot of nerves and excitement all at the same time!!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made this possible. From my personal sponsors and donors to all the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics sponsors and donors we could not do this without you. I would also like to thank those who have given their time to helping the campaign. This is not an individual effort and I look forward to representing all of our efforts this week in the first Olympic Trials event. I would not be here without you!!
I will update during the regatta. The event website is www.skandiasailforgoldregatta.co.uk and they will have live tracking, updates and full coverage streaming on the web.
