Gul RS Youth Champs Report

Gul RS Youth Champs 2009

11 boats entered the Handicap fleet for the 2009 RS Youth Champs hosted by Netley Sailing Club. On the friday after a practise race two races were sailed in an increasing breeze, a fresh 18 knots saw some of the lighter crews struggling to stay upright. It was James Goss & Emma Mackley in a RS500 taking line honours in both races with Jack Munnelly & Jack Holden 2nd in a 400 in race two with Tim & Matt Norris 2nd in race two.
 
Saturday brought more wind and a lot of rain. So the weekend arrivals were in for a shock. Again the RS500's showed the way with Matt Johnson taking the win in race three. The 600's also had a battle on with Mike Ellis coming in 3rd but winning race 4 from Dan Hollands before gear failure took its toll for the rest of the event.

As the wind built on sunday it was the 500's who stormed away with Goss & Mackley winning the title. with the narrowest of margins from Johnson & Weatherhead . A good event was had by all even though there were many breakages. Many thanks to Netley SC for making the sailors welcome.
