Vincy Sailing successfully hosted the St Vincent and the Grenadines Sailing Association Youth National Championships over the weekend of October 5th and 6th, with the Championship base at Coconut Grove Beach Club and races held in the calm waters of Calliaqua Bay.
Despite light winds and tranquil seas, a total of 11 races were scheduled across two days, expertly managed by race officer Sabrina Marks Dasent and her dedicated team.
With Blue Lagoon Charters providing the committee boat, the team conducted thrilling races, even in challenging conditions. Thanks to KFC and Tus-T, the sailors stayed fueled and hydrated, enduring the heat while showcasing their skills.
Four boat classes competed: ILCA6, ILCA4, O'pen Skiff, and Optimist. Each class completed 11 races testing the fitness and stamina of every sailor. Every race was highly competitive, with impressive performances in every category.
Notable Results:
- ILCA6: Scarlett Hadley demonstrated exceptional light wind technique, securing the top spot.
