UGA Sailing: New Athlete in an Old Sport

[@DontheDandi1]

It's so refreshing to see a young woman make a sailing video. Good diagrams on the white board, new mannerisms, different choice of words, new way to explain what I've heard many times before, and most importantly, the "feminine touch" which puts a big smile on my face. Keep up the good work!

I can relate so much! when I first started sailing 5 years ago, I did feel like the only one who didn't have parents that sail, and felt like the only one who was new and didn't know a thing . I stuck at it, and now I feel like this sport has opened up a whole new world to me, but I'll never forget what it felt like to be the new person down at the club, and try to help the new people as much as I can

Thank you for sharing your experience- as a program made up mostly of brand new sailors, we think it's important to talk about this process and how there are many more people in the same "boat". ;) Happy to hear you stuck with it and found the wonderful community and endless adventures! -Allison
