The first day of the Danish Youth Match Racing Nationals began today in Middle Fart, which is a small summer town in south western Denmark. The day was very challenging with a wind range of 0-6 knots and severe current in the afternoon. There are 12 teams competing in the event with all teams being split into two groups.
The team continued there bad starts to regattas this European summer losing the opening flight to the Swedish team. We then went on to win our next four races in a row to move through to the next stage competing against the top 6. The boats we are racing are Match Race 28's which are very heavy and slow.
The afternoon races where very slow with many delays due to lack of wind. The current also played a huge role in the light conditions. The team felt very strong in the afternoon and is hoping for another solid performance tomorrow.
Thanks to Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Zhik, Peter Chapelle and Ron Tough for their continued support.
