Team Knowles: Swimming with Sharks

With the Worlds starting in a little less than 5 days, SB sailor Matt Knowles has been down under in Belmont, Australia running a strong practice regiment for Worlds preparation, rig, sail, swim, fix, sail, swim, fix and repeat. Practice conditions in Belmont have been exciting, with steady breeze, sunny days, warm weather and water and the occasional shark siting. Nonetheless, Matt has been trucking along with his US teammates and new Aussie Moth friends, with the Pre-Worlds starting Jan. 5th, and an expected 115 Moths on a single start line, this tale is going to get a little more interesting.

Matt is keeping us well informed though, with his Worlds Blog, where you can get daily updates from his adventure down under, and as we get more media content from Matt and his team, we will continually post what will be some of the most exciting, fast and aggressive sailing footage seen in a long while, stay posted.
