2024 IW Youth and Junior Championship Series at Gurnard Sailing Club

by Luke Bradley 8 Sep 02:36 PDT 7 September 2024

On Saturday 7th September Gurnard Sailing Club hosted the first leg of the 2024 IW Youth and Junior Championship Series. 43 competitors took part across ILCA 6, ILCA 4, RS Feva, RS Tera Pro, RS Tera Sport and RS Tera Regatta fleets.

Conditions were a bit tricky with a light easterly wind that gradually died and swung more southerly through the day as the rain then set in. Race 1 saw a bit of confusion on the course requirements with only a few sailors completing the course correctly and getting a result. Things were back on track for Race 2 with some close racing in all fleets.

After a short "1 lapper" for Race 3, it became a race against time to get Race 4 in before the wind completely died and the fleets exited stage west on the ebbing tide.

Overall Results:

ILCA 6
1st Ben Anderson
2nd Gretel Haines
3rd Tom Yates

ILCA 4
1st Oliver Smith
2nd Will Haines
3rd Will Bradley

RS Feva
1st Cass Day & Harry O'Callaghan
2nd Hannah Yates & Fallon Day
3rd Samuel Leather and Isla Preston

2nd Patrick De Salle
