We haven’t done Friday Faces in a while, so here’s a pretty great one for you!

Cascadia Sailing crew member Lindsay Bergan just won the 2026 Tasar World Championship with her husband Dalton in Okinawa, Japan. 🌎🏆⛵️

Lindsay and Dalton topped an incredible 113-boat Worlds fleet, finishing the regatta with three first-place finishes, including the final race!

Huge congratulations to Lindsay and Dalton! We are unbelievably proud and excited.
