Krystal finishes 8th Overall at Test Event

AST Day 12 Highlights Krystal finishes 8th overall after a very close medal race in Weymouth UK. Today was a very exciting race I was sitting in second position throughout the race after having a few great shifts up the first work but on the last downwind I was covered by a blanket of boats from behind. I lost 4 boats on the last 200m to the last mark to the finish. It was amazing to have the Australian crowd cheer me on from the point, I could hear all the chanting..very exciting and for sure I hiked harder! Overall it was a great regatta, and a good way to see into the future for next year. I am  definitely in the medal hunt for 2012. Bring it on!...

Day Three of the Test Event, 25knots out on the south course. Finished with a 2nd and 6th http://www.australiansailingte​am.com.au/?Page=54894 Today was windy out on the south course, we had more wind and waves then any other day so far. In the first race I was leading for the whole race, with a really tight battle with Marit. I was able to hold her off for three laps of the course, she just got passed me on the last run into the finish which was disappointing but also great for confidence for racing in the future. The second race was another tight battle between the first five boats, I lost a few places on the  downwind runs, I am working hard with Laura my coach to tighten up...
