MULLER SAILING, LLC
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

I jumped in the water twice this regatta. Not for fun, but to help two teams re-thread a $7.00 plastic spreader tip back into place. The wind was gusting above 30knots. The swell was pushing us into the most active shipping channel in the world. This was not fun, but had to be done. The assistance US sailing provided our athletes by sending and housing me, your fearless and tireless leader, as well as organizing and partially subsidizing the boat charters provided an solid foundation to ensure the success of the US team. The efforts of Leandro Spina, Malcolm Page, Meredith Carroll and all the US Sailing staff who spent their time to organize our team’s arrangements is greatly appreciated. Perhaps the most impactful support we received from US Sailing came from our ace coach boat charter and the employment of our favorite “Head Coach Howie” who became our team’s favorite support staff.
