I was recently interviewed by the Canadian Optimist Dinghy Association (CODA) about my experience sailing the Opti and transitioning to the Laser. Check it out here! https://optican.org/2024/03/27/moving-on-with-eva-doucette/
My name is Eva Doucette and I compete in the ILCA 4 class. I developed a passion for sailing through exploring St Margaret’s Bay, Nova Scotia on my grandparents’ keelboat and racing with my dad in Ottawa. I started competing in the Optimist class at the age of 7 and was fortunate to represent Canada at three continental championships from 2021 to 2023.
I began racing the ILCA competitively in 2022 and was proud to be named the Canadian Female ILCA 4 Champion in 2023 at the Youth Championships. I'm excited to be representing Canada again in 2024 at the North American and World Championships!
For 2024, I plan to compete at the following major regattas:
- Orange Bowl International Regatta, Miami, FL
- Mid-Winters East, St Petersburg, FL
- ILCA North American Championships, New Bedford, MA
- ILCA 4 World Youth Championships, Viana do Castelo, Portugal
- ILCA Canadian Championships, St Margaret's Bay, NS
- Sail Canada Youth Championships, Kingston, ON
Competitive sailing is an expensive sport with significant travel, coaching, and equipment costs. I'm grateful for the assistance I have received from my all my supporters over the years and with your continued help, I hope to keep pursuing my passion of sailing at the international level for years to come.
