Update: I just spoke to Dieter’s dad Nate and he reports it’s Dieter’s 11th Birthday and his finishes were 3,1,1. Go the Dieter. Go the Conrad.
Well, no surprise here, but Seattle’s Dieter Creitz leads off this promo video for the RS Feva Worlds, which are going on this week. And it seems (from the Facebook livecasts that I briefly glanced) that he won Race 2 and 3 – on his birthday no less! Yep, he’s got an energy about him that doesn’t waver, win or lose. Creitz and Conrad Miller are sailing in the event with sponsorship from West Coast Sailing. RS Sailing is doing a great job with this video of creating the fun atmosphere kids are looking for in a boat that looks to be a lot of fun.
They’re livecasting some of the action from Clearwater. A little patchy at times.
