Thank You for Supporting our Veterans
Thank you SPSF for helping make this program possible. Sailing brings veterans together and helps us forget about the difficulties we go thru in life. They focus on teamwork and safety. The program is structured to bring people together. I am excited to take what I learned into my next chapter in life.

Gaining Experience, Thanks to SPSF
I am proud to have been able to represent my club, community, and the SPSF at this event. Sailing against some of the best ILCA 4 sailors in California was an amazing experience in all the conditions we saw, from light to “survival” conditions. The regatta was very well run and with the help of our coach, Todd Fedyszyn, I feel like I was able to gain a lot from the experience. I finished 27th overall in the ILCA 4 fleet and I’m already looking forward to using what I have learned in the future.

Unforgettable Summer of Sailing
Thank you to the St. Petersburg Sailing Foundation for all your support this summer. I had the incredible opportunity to compete in California, win the Pacific Coast Championships in Lake Tahoe, and qualify for gold fleet at ILCA 4.7 Worlds. One of my favorite memories was training in Tahoe with the SPYC team—we even saw a couple of bears (including one near Todd’s boat!) and had snow in June. It was an unforgettable summer full of racing and memories, and I’m so grateful for your support. Thank you again!

I’m incredibly grateful to the St. Petersburg Sailing Foundation for supporting my ILCA sailing career and making my participation in the 2025 ILCA U21 World Championship possible. The grant provided to me helped cover the entry and charter fees of this regatta, which took place in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. Competing in this event as a member of US Sailing’s Olympic Development Program was a rewarding experience that contributed greatly to my athletic and personal development, and I am very proud of my 24th-place finish. Additionally, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to represent this foundation, and look forward to seeing the work they will continue to do in the future.
