Family and Friends,

I am honored to have recently qualified to compete in the International Laser Class Association Youth World Championship Regatta. The event is to be held in Dziwnow Poland at the beginning of July 2023. As you can imagine the cost of attending events of this level can be very expensive. Travel, accommodation, charter boat as well as coaching can add up quickly. Please help me raise the $12,000 to make it to Poland.

I have been a very committed sailor since I was 7 years old. My sailboat racing started in a boat called the Naples Sabot and then quickly moved to the Optimist. The Optimist fleet is very competitive and gave me many opportunities to excel, as well as exposure to some of the top coaches in the USA. My sailing has taken me all over the United States and Canada including representing the USA in Spain. All this racing has made me the Laser sailor I am today. I have benefited greatly from the US Sailing Olympic Development Program and the level of competition they represent. This, as well as strong results last year, has earned me a place at the World Championship in Poland. Any support you can offer is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration.

Nicholas Mueller
