First time at CORK by Sarah Douglas My first CORK was in 2004, I was 10 years old and I was racing the Optimist with the Lake Ontario Optimist Team. I finished... 39th overall of 90 competitors. I remember fearing the windy days but having a blast with my friends. My highlight has always been eating ice cream from White Mountain after racing. From 2004, I raced a few more CORK regattas in the Optimist improving from year to year before moving to the Laser Radial where I found the racing more challenging. I have also coached some of the Opti CORKs when I was the ABYC Race Team Coach in 2012 and 201 I have raced a total of 12 CORK regattas and have so many great memories of my time in Kingston and racing with so many of my friends. I am now a National team athlete training for the Toyko 2021 Olympics. Keep up to date with what I’m up to each month in my Olympic Campaign to Tokyo 2020.
