Well done to our 3 brave RCYC Fevas who hit Schull for the ISA Youth Championships !
3 brave RCYC Fevas hit Schull for the ISA Youth Championships which was blown out on the last day.
The heavy winds certainly challenged our local fleet. We are glad to report that they all rose to the challenge as confidence and technique gradually overcame the conditions.
The results were as follows:
1648 Lewis Eickholt Billy Griffin Howth Yacht Club 8 1 -1 1 1 1 1 1 4 2 3
2476 Isabella Morehead Tom Morehead Royal Cork Yacht Club 13 2 -2 4 2 2 3 6 2 1 1
1 Amy Kate Trevor Emma Geary Royal Cork Yacht Club 19 3 -3 2 3 3 6 3 1 4 4
1929 Chris Malcolm Simon Lawlor Howth Yacht Club 19 4 -4 3 4 4 2 2 3 3 2
1965 Ciara Power Simone McCarthy Royal Cork Yacht Club 37 5 -6 6 5 5 6 6 5 5 5
Isabella and Tom had a few hairy capsizes and Tom left most of his hands on the genni sheet on the first day and finally got wiped out on Wednesday. Amy Kate and Emma were always there despite their genni halyard slipping and ended up the 1st Girl For the Youth Natioanlas. Ciara and Simone had a lot of swims but stuck with it to the bitter end – well done !
All in all a very worthwhile trip west – It highlighted that more time with some building wind conditions is badly needed for the newest fleet on the block! Taming the Feva and honing the heavy wind skills is well within the reach of all our local sailors – tactically and downwind sailing you are already nearly up there! Hopefully April will give us some decent conditions!!!!
