Opti innovation of the day. ⛵️

Talon decided his Opti needed a little extra horsepower, so he made his own spinnaker and rigged it all himself. Kai even jumped aboard as crew for a bit, and suddenly we had a tiny two-person program in action.

These are the moments we love at YSA: curious sailors, big ideas, and plenty of fun on the water.

Future 420 sailors? We can see it.

Day 2 at the 29er UK Nationals. ⛵️

The wind made everyone wait for it, but eventually decided to show up with enough breeze for three good races.

Serena and Thea were back on the water at Hayling Island, making the most of a tricky wind day and keeping the learning going.

Hello from Hayling Island. ⛵️

Serena and Thea spent yesterday training off the Isle of Wight as they prepared for the 29er UK Nationals.

Racing starts today at Hayling Island Sailing Club, a lively venue with plenty of energy and the future home of the 2028 29er Open Worlds.

A great place to learn, compete, and keep building experience on the international stage.

A beautiful moment from Lipno. ⛵️🌈

Between the clouds, the breeze, and that rainbow over the water, this was one of those scenes that captured the spirit of the 2026 29er European Championship.

Serena and Thea took in every part of the experience, on and off the water.

Day 2 in Lipno. ⛵️🌍

No wind? No problem.

When the breeze takes a break, there’s still plenty of room for friendship, team spirit, and soaking in the experience of the 2026 29er European Championship.

Great to see the sailors making the most of every moment on and off the water.

Opening moments from the 2026 29er European Championship in Lipno. ⛵️🌍

Serena is in the Czech Republic, teaming up with Thea for another big international 29er event.

A big stage, a strong fleet, and a great opportunity to keep learning, growing, and representing the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Let’s go, Serena and Thea!
