Myself and three others from the UBC Thunderbirds Sailing Sport Club travelled to Arzon, France, in the Port du Crouesty to compete amongst 180 different schools in the largest student offshore regatta in the world! Our team went to the regatta hoping for decent results but at the end of the week we were battling for first place in the J70 fleet! It was five days of intense racing within our fleet with all of the boats extremely close together. By the very end our team made really good calls on the wind and we came 1st in our fleet! We were so excited and even more when we received our trophy and medals!

Hopefully the team continues to go to that event and can have amazing results in some of the other classes of boats as well! We are so proud of ourselves and it was an amazing way to end my university sailing career!
