Yachting Australia Awards

On Friday night I travelled to Melbourne for the Yachting Australia Awards night where I was a finalist as Youth Sailor of the Year. The other finalists were Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin, Ashley Stoddart, and James Sly and Andrew Gillies. It was a great honour to win the award for a second time and to spend a wonderful evening surrounded by some of the amazing people who make up the sailing community.

In other news I have basically just been back on the water with Erik, training with Stuart and we have been joined a few times now by Nick and Joe. Nice to have some new company. A recent training session with the 470s also provided some entertainment and a different group dynamic.

In a few weeks time I head down to the AIS with some other members of the ASDS for a fitness camp. So I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.
