It’s the last day of Worlds! With a 3:00 PM cutoff for racing, the goal is to get in another race or two before heading to tonight’s awards. Little Traverse Bay has delivered challenging conditions all week, and the Smile and Wave team has met them with hard work, focus, and great communication on board. Proud of this crew. 🏆🌎

Day 1 of our first Melges 24 World Championship proved very challenging for us. The conditions could not have been better or more perfect for our team. Shifty winds in the 13 to 18 knots range and choppy water are phenomenal conditions for our class.

We spent a lot of time on some fairly high-level practice before the event began. The boat is ready and so is this amazing crew we have put together. The practice race on the day before actual racing began was an exceptionally good performance for us and gave us a lot of confidence that our investment in the team was paying off.

However, our first day of racing definitely did not go as planned. The reasons are many, but the original culprit was breaking a routine and process that has worked for us for a long time. There was no single major deviation, but many small details that added up to mediocre performance.

But Smile and Wave Sailling is a resilient and patient team. After a great home meal and team pow-wow, we are eager to recover our mojo and deliver on the promise we made to ourselves.

Harbor Springs, one of the most amazing racing venues we have ever sailed, is forecast to deliver another day of perfect racing conditions.

We are thrilled to be part of this magnificent event and feel strongly that the best is yet to come for us at these Worlds.
