Cooper Delbridge and I are currently raising funds to support our Olympic sailing campaign in the Nacra 17 class, a high-performance foiling catamaran raced in the Olympic Games. This summer, we need funding to train in Long Beach, California, where we will sharpen our skills in the same conditions as the 2028 Olympic venue. The training camp is essential for developing boat handling, speed, and teamwork with my sailing partner. It also provides critical time on the water against top U.S. teams and international competitors, helping us close the gap and push toward the elite level required to qualify for the Olympics.

In addition to our domestic training, we are working to compete at the Nacra 17 World Championship in Italy this October. This regatta is one of the most competitive events on the Olympic sailing calendar and offers the best opportunity to gain international experience, improve our world ranking, and measure our progress against the top teams in the world. Travel, equipment shipping, coaching, and housing all require significant resources, and we are relying on support from our community to make this campaign possible. Every contribution helps us get one step closer to representing the United States at the 2028 Olympic Games.
