2017 Sunfish Worlds

Donation protected
I am trying to raise $4000 this summer in preparation to compete in the 2017 Sunfish World Championships at Brant Beach Yacht Club in New Jersey from August 26–September 1, 2017. In addition, my goal for the season is to qualify for the 2018 Sunfish Worlds in North Carolina.

Over the past 2 years, I have raised $1,570 through GoFundMe Donations which was extremely helpful in assisting to achieve my goals.

In the latest Sunfish World rankings, I am currently ranked 12th. (Source: http://sunfishworlds.org/ranking.asp )
