303 Single Person Division
The first time I sailed was in Australia racing a Liberty.
I had a chance to travel in Canada to watch cruising yachts racing and I liked it. This is the reason I started to sail.
I feel very free. It is very safe. Liberty and 303 has enough speed for me to enjoy sailing. I like the numbers of people racing in Hansa and because of this we now have these great opportunities to sail. This is very exciting.
I like the racing. This type of event gives me the chance to race with many people. This is the best thing for me. The 24 nationalities here is such a good thing. Sailing these boats is quiet and the boat is very fast.
Inclusion – We are doing things together. If I only sail as a disabled sailor the fleet is very small but if we have inclusive sailing we have various people attending and a bigger fleet. I enjoy the growing number of boats in each race. We are doing things together.
When I go home I will remember the lack of wind and prepare for future racing in light winds. I will consider how I have to cover my handicap to race well.
If I could sail with anyone in the world, it would be a Japanese fast sailor.
