It's springtime, and sailing season is about to begin! My boyfriend Christopher and I sail an International 470, which is a 4.7 meter Olympic-class sailboat. Last summer was my first season as crew on a 470, and I got hooked! These fast little boats are exciting and I LOVE to race. We belong to the Lake Belwood Sailing Club and we race with 10 - 15 other boats twice a week. This summer we're looking forward to competing in regattas around Ontario.
