SAILING NEWS

SAS Youth Match Racing Regatta

We sent a youth team to RCYC to compete in the SAS Youth Match Racing Regatta.

Our team comprised of FBYC, Isivunguvungu and Lawhill youngsters. The competition was extremely close. Our team narrowly missed out on a semi-final position after drawing with two other clubs for fourth place in the round robin series.

Unfortunately, we lost out on a count-back and landed up with a sail-off with RCYC for fifth and sixth places. RCYC were confident that they would be victorious, but our team walked away with a fantastic win in the end to claim the fifth spot.

It was a fantastic weekend racing with lots of fun and experience gained.
