Lido 14 Women's National Championship

On August 8th, I sailed in the Lido 14 women's national championship. It took place on mission bay in San Diego. It was a fantastic event with 12 participating boats. I sailed with my dad's friend's daughter, Maggie Nolan. We sailed pretty well but had a few malfunctions with the Lido 6000 series centerboard and after the event realized that the traveler was a few inches loose, which didn't allow us to point as well as I am usually able to. I thought it may have just been the boat since we chartered it and I wasn't used to it, but that was the problem. We ended up finishing 5th. In the end I was pretty proud of our overall performance.
