RS Youth Championships - 3rd& 4th September
An excellent turnout of 22 boats made the trip to Oxford Sailing club for
the youth championships. We were greeted with sun but a lack of wind. Race
1 started with a lot of the fleet being a bit eager to start with the 1st
general recall of the weekend and the black flag coming out. With a very
shifty force 1-2 wind, Frances Peters and Claire Lasko shot of the line to
make it first to the windward mark followed by Tom and Jess Olden and
Rachel Wigmore and Lucy Matthews. With a good mark rounding Peters/Lasko
sped off not to be seen again, Wigmore/Matthews had a good down wind run
to move to 2nd with the Olden's taking 3rd and Nikki Russell and Ben
Lister 4th.
The second race led to some early starters and their second race being
over.
The rest of the fleet got off to a good start with Peters/Lasko flying off
the start line again to lead round the windward mark followed by
Wigmore/Matthews and Josh Gebhard and Tom Jeffrey. Wigmore/Matthews
managed to steal the lead, with Russell/Lister coming back to take 2nd,
Gebhard/Jeffrey taking 3rd and Peters/Lasko slipping to 4th.Race three and
a nice clean start for all the boats, Wigmore/Matthews got off to a great
start and led from the windward mark with incredible pace with Andrew Conn
and Jake Gebhard following in second. Wigmore/Matthews won the race with
Conn/Gebhard having some tricky wind on the last down wind stretch to let
Graham Rome and Sophie Hartley in to 2nd and Russell/Lister to 3rd.
After racing David Giles kindly did some video debriefing and shared some
of his knowledge. With a disco on Saturday night the over 18 youths did
the class proud and drank the bar dry at 9 o'clock forcing them to go out
to buy more supplies!
Sunday started sunny but with little win. Race 4 kicked off with Jack
Norton and Sarah Sharp 1st to the windward mark followed by the Olden's
and Gebhard/Jeffrey. With a good down wind leg Conn/Gebhard took the lead
with the Olden's still fighting strong in second. Gebhard/Jeffrey managed
to make back some places with some good manoeuvring up wind to lead to the
windward mark and take the race, with Conn/Gebhard 2nd and
Wigmore/Matthews coming through to take 3rd.
With the wind picking up to a nice force 3 for the second race things were
going to get interesting, Sam Littlejohn and Emma Clarke powered off to be
first to the windward mark followed by Conn/Gebhard and Peters/Lasko. With
a comfortable lead Littlejohn/Clarke took the race with Wigmore/Matthews
2nd, Peters/Lasko 3rd.
The final race and some teams went to pack up early due to some premature
starting. Wigmore/Matthews led to the windward mark for two laps only to
find they were black flagged. So it was race on for the youth cup between
Peter's and Gebhard. With some tactical covering by both teams
Gebhard/Jeffery just managed to take the race from Peter's/Lasko and with
it the youth cup.
Overall Wigmore/Matthews convincingly won the racing and 1st female team
but with Lucy Matthews being too old, the youth cup went to Josh Gebhard
and Tom Jeffrey, Francis Peter's 1st U16 and Claire Lasko taking 3rd, Sam
Littlejohn/Emma Clarke 4th and Nikki Russell/Ben Lister 5th. A special
mention to Andy Conn and Jake Gebhard who won the merit prize with the
most mixed results from a 2nd and 23rd.
A great weekend and thanks to Oxford sailing club and every one who helped
to make it a success.
