The next winter regatta on our schedule was the Womens NA's.
Isabella and I arrived in Fort Lauderdale for the Championship on the Wednesday prior to the 3 day regatta.
We had brought the Joker coach boat and Isabella's Radial after the Miami Regatta on a small trailer.
We went on the water for some training on the thursday we went to the registration and prepared for the beginning of the event.
Racing scheduled for Friday morning. That day saw light winds and tough tactical conditions. The fleet was relatively small but was fairly deep with talent , especially in the light air.
Bella had a few tough initial races but found her stride as the regatta progressed. We worked all weekend on sound tactical decisions after clear starts. As the breeze came up on the Saturday we had a chance to work on downwind technique.
In the end Isabella sailed a consistent series , finishing 4th overall , with Anna Tunacliffe 1st (the Olympic Gold Medalist)
Isabella flew home Monday morning and i drove to Clearwater Sunday night to meet up with 7 of our team preparing for the Mids East regatta.
