Chelsea Bethancourt and crew
sail to top ten finish at
Rolex International Keelboat Championships
Shoreacres,
Texas
November 12-17
brought some of the top women’s keelboat crews to Houston,
Texas to compete for the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat
Championships. Sailed on J/22’s in Galveston Bay, the event
included top talent including Olympic medalists, world champions,
and America’s Cup veterans. During this 12th biennial running
of the event and sailing out of Houston Yacht Club, almost 40
all-women crews competed for four days in trying conditions. Among
those crews was the youngest skipper in the fleet, 17 year old
Chelsea Bethancourt, sailing Rift with a full set of UKHalsey
Houston sails, who managed to post a top 10 finish through eleven
races. The local crew racing with Chelsea included her mother
Dana Bethancourt, Patricia Escorihuela, and Sandra Baldridge.

From Dana.
We had a great regatta, meeting
all of our expectations and goals. Chelsea did a great job at handling
the big breeze and the light breeze. The Galveston Bay chop was
excruciating at times, but we were able to keep our speed. Our sails
were very fast, even when we had less than stellar starts we were
able to foot off for speed and get back up to the top of the pack,
especially in the race we got 3rd! This was an amazing experience
for everyone, but especially Chelsea. Hopefully, this will be a
spring board for her sailing career.
UK/Halsey
Houston would like to congratulate Chelsea and her crew on such
an outstanding result and wish them well in their future endeavors;
we know she will be someone to watch for in the coming years!
