August 9-10, 2008 
A few weeks ago I sailed in the US Sabot Nationals and came in 8th place out of 14 boats in my fleet. There were three fleets. My brother sailed in C Fleet, I sailed in B Fleet and my friend Cuyler sailed in A Fleet. Each fleet sailed twelve races.
My best finish was a fourth place. I came in fourth in two races. It was really choppy outside the harbor and got really windy toward the end of the day. Dana, our coach, ran the races and kept us outside a little longer on the first day. I "death-rolled" downwind and capsized. But that was one of my best races because other people capsized, didn't finish the race, or had already gone back in to the harbor because they were too scared to sail in that much wind.
My brother came in 15th place out of 25 boats in C Fleet.
