Hi Everyone , Well there was no sailing last Sunday due to strong winds which reached to over 30 knots by the afternoon so definitely not Junior or Youth sailing conditions so I thought that I would just mention how our Youth sailors went at Yepoon Youth and Junior Regatta .
From reports it was the biggest Regatta for competitor numbers that they have ever had with upward of 200 competitors .
So how did our representative go ?
Ross signed up in a fleet of 25 4.7 lasers and after three days of racing ended 17th against some very hot young sailors
Daniel in his first ever Regatta came 13th out of 17 Bic Skiffs
Jade came 11th overall in the same class as Daniel but was third overall in under 13
All these guys have trained hard this year with firstly our midwinter cup which they used as a practice regatta for yepoon then they trained even harder before setting off for Yepoon to test themselves against some of the best youth sailors in australia .
Conditions ranged from 1 knot to 25 knots so it really tested our sailors skills , ok there was the occassional swim but they all got back up and went again.
As special thanks goes to all the mums and dads as well for taking time off work to support their children and yes there was a few tired faces on monday and tuesday after such a long drive bringing the boats back home
Thank you all for representing Paradise Point Sailing Club we are truly proud of you all.
