I have also been on the high performance camp for two years, where selected sailors are flown to CT for training and gym programs etc. This year I am planning to do Finn nationals and provintials in CT again then travel overseas and see where my sailing can take me! Still young therefore sailing and travelling seems a better option than studying because Im still unsure what to study and sailing is what I enjoy doing the most. At the moment Im working with my dad in construction and following this high performance programme.
