Do you know who is representing the USA in the Olympic sailing classes?  You should!  Meet the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider, the 43 athletes who have dedicated much of their time, energy, money and lives to compete at the elite level and campaign to go to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.SELDEEEEEEEEEn

Featured this month: Annie Haeger and Briana Provancha, #1 ranked US Women’s 470
Annie Haeger (East Troy, Wisco.) and Briana Provancha (San Diego, Calif.) began their 470 campaign while they were at Boston College together, and after graduating in 2012 committed to their Olympic goals full time.  Since then they have been climbing the international rankings, peaking at #1 in 2013 and currently ranked #4 in the world.  The duo have been training hard both domestically and around the world with US coaches and foreign training partners, and have been tearing it up at international competition. Their 2014 competition schedule peaks in September at the Olympic Class Combined Worlds in Santander, Spain where they hope to qualify the USA in the Women’s 470 class for the 2016 Olympics.
I was able to talk to them for a bit about their campaign, their experiences that have gotten them to this point, and what it means to them to be a part of the US Sailing Team.
Sail1Design: What made you two decide to campaign together?
Annie Haeger: Briana and I meet during a youth worlds in 2007 while both on the podium. Briana won Gold for the US in the 29er while I received the silver in the radial. I knew how driven and talented she was as a sailor and it seemed fate that we ended up at [Boston College] together! After she chased her dream of becoming an Olympian her Junior year sailing in a 470 for a couple months, I knew I wanted to follow her and do the same. I had always had laser radial dreams, but came to the realization that the 470 was a better fit. The rest is history!
Briana Provancha: We went to BC together and each had Olympic aspirations.  We were great friends in college and it seemed like an awesome fit with each of our roles in the boat.
S1D: What does it mean to you to be on the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider?
BP: I am proud to be American and to be able to represent my country all over the world doing what I love; it is such a special thing to be a part of.
AH: Having the American Flags and US Sailing Team stickers on our sails is an indescribable feeling. I am so proud to be representing our country on the international scale and to have the support system of the team itself!
4
S1D: What are some of your favorite things about being on the USST STS, and how has being on the team changed you as a sailor?
AH: I think the collaboration and support that the team gives you are some of my favorite things about US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider.   During team camps, great minds in our sport come together in one room giving advice and sharing all of their knowledge. Open floor forums allow for information sharing and accelerated learning for all teams! I think being on the US Sailing Team has changed my perspective about not only representing Team Haeger/Provancha, but also the United States. I feel honored to be a part of something bigger than me, representing our country internationally and hopefully at the Olympic Games.
BP: As each year goes by, I learn more about myself and continue to grow as a person and I am proud of the person I am becoming while being a part of this team. Plus, I love messing with [Communications Manager] Will Ricketson!
kosailing2122
S1D: What has been the most challenging aspect about campaigning and/or your campaign?
AH: Probably the most challenging aspect would be the amount of travel and fundraising required. During competition months during the summer, Briana and I are constantly living out of our suitcases often not settling down in one spot for more than two weeks. Though we are extremely lucky to be able to travel to many amazing spots abroad, being nomads takes a toll on relationships and energy levels!
BP: When someone asks me where “home” is, I say, “Well, I get my mail sent to San Diego, so there I guess”. Living out of a suitcase and always being on the go is definitely a lifestyle to get used to and is one of the most challenging parts for me.
3
S1D: Who have been the most influential people in your sailing career?
AH: My father has been by far the most influential person in my career. He not only introduced me to the sport but also has been my biggest support system throughout mine and Briana’s campaign so far. Whenever I need to bounce an idea off of someone, I know he will be all ears and steer me in the proper direction!
BP: [Boston College Sailing Coach] Greg Wilkinson and Boston College Athletics. They taught me how to be an athlete and not just a sailor.
S1D: Who are your favorite teams to sail against?
AH: The best teams to sail against are those who are competitive on the water but are still respectable and friendly off the water. Briana and I have made a good connection on and off the water with the Dutch team. It is always nice to be able to grab dinner with a team that you have just been competing at such a high level against.
BP: The 470 Women’s fleet overall is surprisingly very friendly off the water, which makes the racing more fun. On the water though, it is always a fight and I love the battle. I enjoy racing teams who are going to bring their A game.
S1D: What advice would you give other sailors who are interested in Olympic sailing?
BP: Learn to overcome the fear of being unsuccessful.
AH: Have something on the side of sailing that you enjoy! The first year of the campaign I often found myself thinking about sailing at most points during the day which lead to burn out. Having something off the water where you are able to put your energy post training or event will ensure that you are able to give it your all on the water.
2
S1D: So what do you like to do when you aren’t sailing the 470?
AH: I am super arts and crafty! Right now I am actually working on a scrap book from our travels.
BP: I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family and I’d be lying if I didn’t say keeping up with the Kardashians.
S1D: Do you have any rituals or superstitions relating to your sailing?
AH: The one ritual that I can think off the top of my head is our Parajos. We acquired our self-nicknamed Parajos during our first Palma last year in 2013. The morning that we arrived into the port from the ferry from Barcelona many members of the USST STS decided to stop and grab some breakfast before our housing was available. While we were sitting down in this cafe, an older gentleman (around 75) took great interest to our English and began speaking about us in Spanish to his friends. Growing up in San Diego and taking Spanish for many years, Briana was able to easily communicate with Miguel (as we later found out his name was) and I could see him falling in love.  Miguel decided to sit at our table for about an hour speaking only with Briana making fun of the rest of us around the table. While we were winding up breakfast, Miguel asked us to wait for a second as he ran out to his car. He grabbed a painting that he had made the week before depicting two birds sitting in a tree and gave it to Briana as a gift. He asked us to come back and visit him at the cafe, which we did two more times before we had to get into what we call “regatta mode”. The Parajos have now become our good luck charm traveling with us to every venue! The one time we left them inside our car before an event, our car almost got towed. From that point, our ritual was as soon as we are settled into our housing Briana picks out the Parajos perch where they stay for the entire event.
SOFIA TROPHY 2014
S1D: Does your boat have a name?
AH: We have two boats at the moment both having meaningful names to Briana and me. “No Gucci” lives in the US and was our first boat on the 470 circuit! The name reminds us that we need to first learn how to sail the boat before dealing with all the fine-tune details of the 470. It is easy for some sailors to get sucked into boat work and tweaking that may not be as important as going out and actually sailing! Our boat that is our competition boat in Europe is named “10%”. This name is derived from an old saying for our Boston College Sailing Team that 90% of sailing is looking good. Though the name comes from an inside joke, it also reminds us that we needed to start the technical details of the 470.
S1D: What do you guys talk about on the boat when you aren’t talking about sailing?
AH: Sometimes during postponements, we will pick animals and see which ones would win in a fight… For example, who would win in a battle? Camel or donkey? I don’t know how this speaks to our maturity level, but it keeps us entertained for HOURS.
BP: [Another battle example:] A hippo or an eagle? Sometimes when we train, we talk in accents to each other. British, Red Neck and Asian are a few of our favorites.
S1D: If you were to reincarnate as an animal in your next life, what do you think it would be and why?
AH: 100% an eagle. I may be slightly biased because of the whole Boston College thing, but they are such amazing animals! They are a symbol of the US, seem very regale and are just boss animals. Not that I have thought about this question a lot before…
BP: Definitely something in the ocean, probably a dolphin. They are smart, good communicators and spend their day jumping through waves!
Annie Haeger and Briana Provancha, Women's 470, US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider 2014
S1D: If there was one thing that you would like the readers of this article to know about you (that they don’t already know), what would it be?
AH: I am dyslexic which makes on-boat communication more difficult for Briana! The poor thing cannot depict what is happening in terms of right and left since I am not able to tell the difference between the two, in high pressure situations.
BP: I was my high school class Valedictorian.
S1D: What has been your favorite place to sail in international competition?  Similarly, what has been your favorite place to travel to or visit?
AH: My favorite place to compete thus far is Lake Garda, Italy. I sailed there a couple of times way back when I was competing in my opti and would LOVE to go back and show Briana the area. The venue is a glacial lake which enables you to sail up directly to the massive cliffs! The hiking and biking around the area is spectacular which is right up my alley. Breeze works like clockwork there, coming in strong late in the afternoon. What can you ask for a better venue than great sightseeing, breeze and food??
BP: My favorite place to compete is Palma de Mallorca, Spain, minus the sand. We also got to spend a day in Rome. That was amazing!
S1D: What is your game plan for the next 2 years leading up to Rio?
AH: Our game-plan is to keep checking boxes off our list. The 470 is such a technical boat with many combinations of gear changes that seems quite daunting when starting out. Taking each day step by step and goal setting to be efficient as possible will hopefully lead us to our goal!
BP: We are working closely with Dave Ullman, our new coach and we are taking it one step at a time. Rio is still a long way away and we plan to focus on short-term goals, while still keeping the big picture in mind.

Looking Up at College Sailing: What's it Really Like?

 GETTING BEHIND THE BROCHURES…

SELDEEEEEEEEEn

By Airwaves writer Emma White
Over the past few years I attended several talks during clinics and regattas in which college coaches discuss and answer questions on collegiate sailing.  Although I appreciate and learn from these informative sessions, I often wondered about the experiences and perspectives of the collegiate freshmen on the coaches’teams.  What do they think?  Are their experiences consistent with the coaches’comments?  So, to learn more, I surveyed a number of rising collegiate sophomores who sail on top 20 teams to ask about their freshmen college experience.kosailing2122
cs1
What I found most interesting was the rigor of their weekly schedule.  Here are some other findings you may find intriguing:
Most college freshman practiced 3-4 times a week, and studied 4 hours each day.  No one studied more than five hours and no one studied less than one hour each day.  Most sailed in more than 6 regattas their freshman fall and spring sailing seasons.
My survey also probed some deeper areas to draw out more about the freshman experience. For example, despite the close relationships high school and junior sailors may form with their teammates, most college freshmen sailors found their college team much closer and tightly knit.  They reported that college teammates work well together and everyone is collaborative.  Teams are often described as a family and within that family, each class is especially close.  One sailor mentioned that while practices are competitive, meetings off the water focus on team dynamic and collaboration of the team.  An example of team collaboration is upperclassmen reaching out to underclassmen to help them improve.  These comments confirm the college coaches’emphasis on team chemistry often mentioned during the college panel discussions.   Another interesting difference the sailors suggested is the competitive college team atmosphere on the water helps everyone improve, and while tensions may rise on the water, they immediately disperse off the water.  In comparison, in high school sailing tensions that are  high on the water tend to loom over the team off the water as well.Rs-ignite banner
Thinking back to the college coaches’panels and different coach styles and presentations, I asked the sailors to share the most important thing learned from their college coach during freshman year.  The responses spanned a wide range, but all underscore the important and lasting impact of a college coach:

  • “The importance of team over the individual”
  • Improve something everyday, you should always have a goal for practice
  • One student was sick both semesters, and this individual learned the importance of taking care of one’s health before sailing
  • Making the transition from junior sailing, with many boats competing at a time and long courses, to college sailing with 18 boats competing at a time and short courses is difficult. College coaches help sailors smoothly make that transition and adjust tactics and strategy.
  • Each practice is precious time on the water and you should be pushing yourself (and other teammates)
  • Life is split into three categories: sailing, social, and academics…you can only choose two

I also asked about the transition for high school to college, and the challenges of sailing with a new talented team. Some sailors found it hard to not start in all of the regattas, they had to learn to appreciate the virtue of patience before competing. Acknowledging the bigger picture of the team’s success is more important.  As expected, the fleet is much more competitive than at the high school or junior sailing level.  Circling back to the ⅔rule on sailor mentioned in the previous question, other sailors offered their similar input by mentioning the difficulties of managing school and a social life around a time demanding sailing schedule.  However, some sailors mastered “maintaining a healthy balance of sailing, school, and activities outside of sailing”which led them to feel more satisfied with their college experience because they also enjoyed campus life. Finally, sailors felt pressure of representing their team and college with dignity.
Last, I asked the freshman sailors what tips and advice they would offer this year’s incoming college freshman sailors:

  • Learn as much as possible from the upperclassmen (specifically seniors)
  • Time management is critical
  • Tough days are inevitable, so you have to remain positive and look forward to good days ahead
  • Be as open minded as possible and prepared to adjust to a new level of racing
  • Some teammates might underestimate you because you’re a freshmen, but remember that you’re still an integral part of the team
  • Become as close as possible to your teammates, especially the seniors
  • Be a leader and work hard
  • In terms of exercise, focus on endurance training for all muscle groups and core workouts that pinpoint hiking muscles

I hope you found the college freshman perspectives as interesting and informative as I.  Thank you to all the rising sophomores who completed the survey, good luck next year at school!

S1D Team Profile: Youth J/24 Team USA

By Airwaves Writer Sarah Lihan
Most junior racing here in the US sticks to the tried and true youth classes—Lasers and Radials, Club 420’s, maybe a handful of catamarans and windsurfers—but very few make it into competitive keelboat racing until after college.  Not so for Liam McCarthy and his crew on the Youth J/24 Team, who were selected by the US J/24 Class Association to represent the US as the country’s sole under-25 team at the Worlds this September in Newport, RI.  McCarthy then took it one step further, as all but one on his roster are under-18.
This group has taken on a huge project, one that most adults struggle to put together.  After winning the slot in March this year, McCarthy (who applied as an individual) and coach Todd Fedyszyn spent many nights selecting a team that would put the right people in the right roles while maximizing crew weight—no easy feat with smaller adolescent frames.  Aiming to keep the program local, they wound up with a group of teenagers associated with the St. Petersburg YC who are keen to expand their horizons into a different brand of sailing.
One parent donated a beat-up, bright orange hull, and the kids took it from there, sanding and stripping it down above and below the waterline.  Bow girl Emily Wright says of the boatwork, “Earlier this summer, we had the giant task of ‘de-orangifying’ the boat formerly known as Hot Wheels. The whole team and team parents put lots of hours in taking off and putting on hardware, sanding multiple layers of paint, and cleaning the boat from the inside out.”

Team prepping “Hot Wheels”— it takes a village.

They assembled a training plan that included the St. Pete NOOD, the J/24 Florida State Championships, and simple weekly Thursday and Friday night racing.   Fedyszyn says, “The team has been really lucky to come from such a stronghold of J/24 racing in the US, and in the beginning, the top guys in the area were super helpful giving the kids specific tips and tricks.”  But after winning a local Tampa Bay regatta in May, the locals are seeing the value of a boat full of dinghy whiz kids, and now include them in two boat testing just as they would any adult crew.

They want to make it known they’re not just a bunch of kids out sailing around for the sake of it.  Their goal is top 25 at the Worlds, and they believe that with the right conditions and a little luck, they could crack into the top 15.  Beyond that, though, the crew want to spread their open-minded vision.  Tactician Claire Dennis says, “The program has sparked big local interest, getting lots of Tampa Bay juniors out on different boats, filling in when a team member is off travelling for their other sailing.  It gets them out of the well-worn youth sailing ruts and discovering new things to love about the sport.”  And of course, as should be the goal in every campaign, trimmer Josh Dochoda reminds us all of the most important objective: “We aren’t pros, so keeping the crew in high spirits is of utmost importance.  We’re a bunch of teenagers, and we want to have a great time.”

Racing at Florida State Championships, Miami, FL
St. Petersburg YC has played a huge supporting role in getting Youth J/24 Team USA out on the water and on the road to success, and the team couldn’t have gotten this far without the village that makes sailing the wonderful sport that we all enjoy.  Helly Hansen has signed on as a gear supporter, and Sturgis Boat Works has generously donated a coachboat for the week of the worlds.  The team is still looking for support to secure a new set of racing sails, and would graciously accept a tax-deductible donation made to the St. Petersburg Amateur Racing 501c3 via the team’s website.  For updates on the final lead up to the worlds, make sure to follow their Facebook page.
