I work for Pleon Yacht Club in the summer seasons. In 2024 I will go for the third year to be part of their sailing program. Pleon is a renowned children-centered club in Massachusetts, USA, teaching over 200 kids sailing each summer.
In 2022 and 2023, I was hired as the Optimist Race Team Head Coach, responsible for managing the curriculum and training plan for the racing program. We participated in various regattas and achieved excellent results. Our team of sailors showed significant improvement, not only in their racing skills but also in their passion for the sport.
In terms of racing results, in 2022, one of our kids qualified for the US National Team, we won the Marblehead Race Week, and had two sailors in the gold fleet of Opti New Englands. At the Hingham Regatta, we secured the first and third positions, with many sailors finishing in the top 10.
In 2023, four of our sailors qualified for the National Team Trials, and one qualified not only for the National Team but also to represent the US in the North American Championships.
In 2024, I will assume the role of Lead Sailing Counselor. I will coach the C420 Race Team and oversee all classes to ensure the program's quality. Additionally, I will develop the curriculum for all learn-to-sail programs and assist other instructors with organizing their classes.
