Freshie Racing 1st at Danish youth nationals

In testing conditions the team has finished 1^st in the 2010 Danish youth match racing nationals in Middle Fart. The regatta had very testing conditions with very light winds and strong currents. The regatta win is the team’s second of the European tour and the team feels very pleased with this weekend’s result in Denmark.

The regatta finished at the end of the super six stage with light winds cutting the program short once again.  We lost one race in the 5 races, were we thought we sailed smart and fast throughout the afternoon. We lost one race to the top finishing Danish team in a contentious umpire decision that cost us the race at the bottom mark. It took 9 hours to get through 5 flights of races so it was very rewarding to finish on top. After last week’s disappointing result in the grade 1 in France the team felt a lot stronger in the grade 3 event and has improved greatly from the experience.

Freshie Racing would like to thank Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Zhik, Ron Tough Yachting Foundation and Peter Chappell for their great support.
