Joe and Clara Jones from Burghfield SC put on an impressive performance in their first ever RS200 Youth Championship to secure the Youth Champions title.

With their results improving from 6th to 5th, then 3rd and 2nd as the event progressed, they will surely be ones to watch for the future!

2nd youths and first youth female helm were Gabriella Ross and Thomas Jubb from RSYC, with 3rd Youth place going to LOSSC home boat Adam Catlow and Toby Dutson, just one point ahead of Ben Dearden and Alice Carter from Yorkshire Dales.

Overall event winners, for the Sailing Chandlery EaSEA Tour fixture were Paris Thomas and Marta Unicio Ribeia, from QMSC, who are showing great form this season. Competition was tight throughout the fleet, with 4 points separating the first 4 boats.

Thanks to Lee on Solent Sailing Club for 6 great races and a very warm welcome.
