2024 IW Youth and Junior Championship Series at Gurnard Sailing Club

7 September 2024
On Saturday 7th September Gurnard Sailing Club hosted the first leg of the 2024 IW Youth and Junior Championship Series. 43 competitors took part across ILCA 6, ILCA 4, RS Feva, RS Tera Pro, RS Tera Sport and RS Tera Regatta fleets.
Conditions were a bit tricky with a light easterly wind that gradually died and swung more southerly through the day as the rain then set in. Race 1 saw a bit of confusion on the course requirements with only a few sailors completing the course correctly and getting a result. Things were back on track for Race 2 with some close racing in all fleets.
After a short "1 lapper" for Race 3, it became a race against time to get Race 4 in before the wind completely died and the fleets exited stage west on the ebbing tide.
