HYC RWB Team at the 36th Optimist Team Berlin Cup
This weekend, the Hampton Yacht Club RWB Team is proudly racing at the 36th Optimist Team Berlin Cup in Germany. After a year of dedication, hard work, and relentless practice—during which Coach Paton, Sailing Director Max and I had the pleasure of working closely together to coach and guide these talented sailors—Brandt, Finley, Andrey, Wesley, and Tucker earned their place to represent Team USA 1 through their participation in the National Team Racing Championship.
On October 5th and 6th, I had the privilege of coaching them in their final training sessions before departing for Berlin. These sailors have shown incredible determination and growth throughout the season, competing at events across the country, and it’s been an honor to be part of their journey.
I wish them all the best of luck and success in this prestigious event. Sail fast and keep pushing forward—your hard work has brought you here, and the sky's the limit!
