Young Challenger's training day on the Weta

Getting ready to go - Young Challenger training day Myk Ryan
We couldn't have asked for a nicer day for the Young Challenger's Cup training on Sunday, with spring sunshine and a light South Easterly.

Four teams from Wakatere, Maraetai and French Bay showed up at Lake Pupuke to get familiar with the Weta and have some coaching. Big thank you to Myk Ryan who generously gave up his time to help out with his Weta and took the photos!

The Young Challenger's Cup is this coming weekend (September 13th - 14th). Come along and check out the action on the America's Cup style course off the French Bay Yacht Club on the Manukau Harbour.
