Getting out for another practice day before the European's and World's. We know we can sail well, so we try to focus on non typical drills for random situations that may come up throughout the two events. This is also very helpful for our boat handling, communication, and reaction time on race day.

We finally got an opportunity to sail against another good boat and test ourselves. The only downside to showing up so early to practice at the event's venue is that there is no one to practice with!
