Why I’m Leaving Greece to Race in the USA
This September and October, I’m leaving the catamaran sailing paradise of Vasiliki, Greece and heading to the USA for THREE incredible catamaran sailing events!
First stop is **Hilton Head, South Carolina**, where I’ll be running a week of one-to-one catamaran coaching ahead of the **Formula 18 Americas Championships**.
Then I’m heading to **Ocean Springs, Mississippi** for the **Hobie 16 International Championships** – top-level Hobie 16 racing at one of the friendliest sailing venues I’ve ever visited.
And finally, it’s back to **Hilton Head** for the **51st Anniversary Multihull Regatta**, including a two-day Joyrider race clinic before the event.
These events aren't just for elite racers. Whether you're an experienced catamaran racer, thinking about entering your first race, looking to crew, or simply want to come down and watch some fantastic sailing – there are ways to get involved.
