Ashley Stoddart Sailing Updates
Hello!
My Scottish Adventure begins tomorrow, hitting the airport in the early evening to reach destination Largs via Dubai and Glasgow. The Women’s Open Radial Worlds begin on the 9th of July and there are 6 days of racing, and then the Women’s Youth Radial Worlds are from the 19th-25th July.
They are being held from a small town in Scotland, on the West Coast called Largs.
The trip is getting exciting now that the assessment of school is finished for the term and things are basically packed.
Thank you to PSA for the support and contribution you have made towards my sailing in recent times. I am extremely excited about the challenges and adventures which await me in Scotland, follow my adventure with results on the links below to the home page.

KIEL WEEK 2010
Krystal finishes 6th in Kiel Week Germany ISAF Grade One.
Hi All,
This years Kiel Week started off as your typical windy yet cold regatta. It was a slow start for the Radial race course as the race committee had trouble setting the marks, so after an hour of mucking around and all of us just sitting and waiting in the cold we were off. We got three great races in, I finished the day with a 7,2 and should have been one but I decided to do an extra lap. So for the worlds all courses will be permanently written onboard my boat. It was a good lesson for me.
For the next couple of days Fletch got very good at towing me out to the race course and then towing me back in. We finally manage to get in one drifting no wind race, so not very exciting. The positive was the sun was out.
The last day we had our medal race, I went into it in 9th place overall with nothing to loose so I went for it. I had a great start to the race but feel onto the wrong side of a shift rounding 6th, I climbed my way back through the fleet to finish in 3rd place in the race. This then shot me up to 6th overall.
The regatta even tho it was light and we only managed 4 races, it was definitely worth the trip. My aim was to get better at my starts and with some general recalls I managed to get 3 out of 5 great... so the odds are getting better.
I am now in Varese for more fitness work at the AIS base in Italy and then off to Scotland for the Worlds Showdown! Can’t Wait
Happy Sailing
