“It was really just a positive regatta for us because the sailors were really supportive of each other and really enthusiastic to watch their teammates sail,” said assistant coach Charlie Knape. “But everyone got the chance to experience some success as well, and this regatta does get pretty good competition. We really considered this weekend a team effort.”
“As a team, we’re fortunate to feel and face adversity,” Lior Lavie said. “It shows a lot about our determination, our work ethics, and dealing with pressure. All six athletes that were with me over there- I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
