Tomorrow is the first day of racing in the IFDS Worlds right here in Rochester, New York! Mark and I have not been out since our regatta at Marblehead, Boston Yacht Club. Mark is still healing from two broken legs! We are determined to get out there and build up our "teammanship" and sharpen skills despite recent setbacks.
Tonight (Sunday) were the opening ceremonies. It was really great to see so many countries here for this event--over 170 of the worlds best sailors. It is a humbling experience in many ways!
We will be dockside by 10:30 daily and races for the Skud 18s begin at 1:00. Every day there will be three races a day, same times. There are even spectator boats down at the Rochester Yacht Club (the host), so if you want to get out there and see some awesome racing, go for it!
There are some great sites listed below if you would like to learn more about the boats and the events. There are three paralympic boat categories: the Single-Person (2.4), Two-Person (skud 18), Three-Person (sonars) Keelboats. I'll try to post pictures daily and of course give a summary of the day's events. Please feel free to post any questions or comments!
