Kieler Woche - Training

Andrew and I arrived in Kiel Germany this week for the next leg of the ISAF Sailing World Cup. We came armed with a new quiver of sails from North which we tested over two days and are excited how nice they look. The weather has been all over the place with everything from bright sun to thunderstorms with hail - and that was just before sailing today!

Kiel Week is a bit different from the other World Cup events in that it is part of a big festival. Think about having a Sperry NOOD Regatta and then adding a carnival in shore with food booths, beer gardens (we are in Germany) and small rides for the kids. The do a great job getting the public involved.

Racing stars tomorrow with two races a day through Tuesday and a medal race on Wednesday. Stay tuned tomorrow for more news and a picture from coach Mark Ivey on how to survive a hail storm on a star boat.
