My youngest daughter just started sailing school last week. She was pretty excited leading up to it and once it started she really got into it. She is the one in the pink life jacket.

She was enjoying it so much she wanted to get out and race. She is 8 years old and never raced before so we decided maybe she shouldn't go on her own. OK, so maybe I wanted to get back into a dinghy bit also I jumped in one of the club Topaz Toppers with her for Wednesday night dinghy racing. Great little boats, well built but fairly quick; we kept up with the 420s.

We managed to stay out of the water and in the boat

We pulled off 2 second place finishes and we had a blast.
