Hi, I'm Sterling Ott, CAN1397 and a proud Team Canada opti sailor. I represented my country at the Optimist World Championships in Bodrum, Turkey in June 2022, where I competed against 283 of the world's best sailors from more than 50 nations around the world. I started sailing at six years old at my local Bronte Harbour Yacht Club in Oakville where I earned the Most Improved Sailor award at 9 years-old. I participated in my 1st international regatta in Green Fleet at CORK International Regatta in Canada. As an aspiring young sailor, I yearned for more competition and joined Port Credit Yacht Club in Fall 2019 where I launched my competitive sailing career with my coach, Fede Donzino. I'm training for the 2022 North American Championship in Nassau, Bahamas November 6th-20th.
My goals for the 2022 Season are:
1st overall at CORK Opti Internationals - I received the Valerie Award for the Top Canadian Sailor.
1st overall at Canadian Nationals - I placed 3rd in Red Fleet and 5th overall
Gold fleet at Optimist World and North American Championships - Gold fleet was tougher than I thought at Worlds, but my goal hasn't changed for NAMS
Qualify for 2023 Team Canada Worlds Team - I accomplished this at Nationals in Lunenburg, NS and can't wait to compete at the 2023 World Championship in Spain.
