From July 22-28 Fort Worth Boat Club & Rockport Yacht Club hosted a fantastic Sailing Clinic and Regatta in Rockport Texas. The week started off with a 4 day racing clinic with coaches Ryan Minth, Alex Dyet, Charlotte Rose, Elizabeth Kratzig, coach Val and myself. This line up of coaches and terrific sailing venue made this clinic one of highest level sailing clinics in the country and was attended by over 35 sailors this year. The weekend after the clinic was the Rockin' Rockport TSA Regatta. With over 65 sailors registered making it Rockport's largest regatta with 13 of our youth sailors competing.Reid Johnson (ILCA 7) and Pressley Massey (ILCA 6) both took 2nd on the podium supported by fellow ILCA sailors Shiloh Mabry, Isla Mrstik, Sarah Hyland, Alex Van Zanten, Finn Messner and Eli Pfarrer. In the Opti fleet Colby Cox placed 2nd and Ashlyn Josephson placed 3rd in Red Fleet. Evie Hyland placed 4th in Blue Fleet. In the C420 Fleet Gianpaolo Keating & Christian Lopez finished 5th out of 14 despite not having a spinnaker pole to use. Rockport was a great event giving our sailors excellent big bay conditions with the best coaching available. A big thank you to all parents and sailors for the teamwork it took to make this event happen and run smoothly. I look forward to next year's Rockport clinic and regatta.
Coach Ryan
