My sister and I want to thank you so much for your help and financial support to give us the opportunity to travel to North Carolina and compete in Youth Champs. At this regatta we ran into a big issue. On the practice day (day before the regatta) it was blowing about 20 knots with big swells. When coming in we capsized, and while riding the boat up our mast snapped. The reason for snapping our mast is still undetermined. Due to breaking our mast my sister and I were unable to sail the first day but were able to find a mast and compete the rest of the week against the top youth 29er sailors in the U.S. With a day of racing taken from us, we were left with results that showed hard work through only 6/10 races. Voted by the coaches, judges, and sailors we were award the sportsmanship award.
Sincerely,
Roxy and Charley Snyder
