Callisto Racing

🥈 for Team Callisto at the Cascais Vela Regatta. Our final tune-up ahead of Worlds. Huge thanks to Coach Steve and Felder for keeping us rolling on an incredibly dynamic racetrack and to our badass play-caller Zeke, who had us in the mix all weekend. Shoutout to the best shore crew / scooter gang in Cascais, W***y and LeeAnn, for keeping bellies full and spirits high over three tough days. Next Up: J/70 Worlds in a week!

🥉 for Team Callisto at J/70 Mixed+ Worlds! Incredibly fortunate to spend a fabulous week afloat and ashore with this crew in Copenhagen. Sailing this event with my nieces Catherine and Isabel Dickson was super special. Thanks to Ian Barrows and Beth Whitener for making learning fun for all three of us, and to my sister Bridget and Will Felder for the best shore support and coaching you could hope for. Next up: J/70 Pre Worlds in Cascais, Portugal in about a week!

🥉 for Team Callisto in Section 3 of the Chicago Mac! Props to this killer crew for driving the boat through three days of alternating squalls and doldrums for 333 miles up Lake Michigan. The J/125 now goes back in the barn for the winter. Next Up: Cowes Week on the Fast 40!

Team Callisto takes gold in IRC Zero for the Round the Island Race! Fun to cap off our first week of sea trials on the new platform with a lap around this legendary racetrack. Huge thanks to the crew for doing it in such style, Dog for great coaching and data crunching, and Beach, Chris, Isabel and the entire shore crew for all the late nights and elbow grease it took to pull this off.
