I was the only one who went to this Laser Practice in December. It was a little winter practice on a cold ESE day at Shilshole. Wind was 10-18 with a building wind chop.

SYC Race Team Awards Dinner
January 23, 2011 was the race team awards dinner for the Seattle Yacht Club Junior Race Team. It was great to see so many people from the team, especially those who are not always at practice. I was presented the McCurdy Cup team race trophy again with the other sailors from that team. I was also presented the Joe Duthie Trophy which is for the top SYC girl at the Intracub Championship, which I won overall as well. I also won the Brent Nichols Trophy, which is the most prestigious award, and is for the most Outstanding Sportsmanship and Inspirational Sailor. I was ecstatic that I won this trophy and did not expect it at all. I was especially happy when my coach said, "Sarah was the obvious choice for the award, attending every practice and workout, and with her great attitude despite some of the worst finishes and her great improvement this season." I won 3 of the 7 award presented which was amazing to me, and encourages me to continue working hard!

Frigid Digit 2011
This winter, I have been trying to stay in shape for sailing as much as possible! It has been very cold and I sailed in Frigid Digit at Corinthian Yacht Club last weekend (January 29-30). The regatta was freezing as usual but also very fun. There were only 5 radials and 24 full rigs who sailed. I sailed a radial. It was rather windy the morning of the first day, but as the wind got a little lighter, I did much better with 2 1sts and 1 2nd. The next day was even windier with wind from 20-30 kts and freezing cold weather. We had 3 races that day, in which I recieved 3 3rd places. Overall, the first day I was in 2nd, but after the second day, I slipped into 3rd place. It was a great regatta though!
