After competing with and against each other for the last fifteen years in different boats, they started competing together full-time in 2016 on the 49erFX - a high-performance, double-handed female Olympic class boat. 2019 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS  -Earned our first World Cup Series medals - bronze in Genoa, Italy. -Qualified to represent Team USA at the Pan American Games in Peru. -Qualified to represent the US Sailing Team at the Olympic Test Event in Japan. -Sailed in every medal race (top 10) of the 2019 World Cup Series. -#1 ranked 49erFX team on US Sailing Team &amp; #12 in the World OLYMPIC TRIALS: 5 REGATTAS, 4 COUNTRIES, 1 OLYMPIC BERTH The Pan American Games, in Paracas, Peru, will be our opportunity to qualify the United States for the berth at the Olympics.
