Arapahoe, NC (October 9, 2021) – A rainy start did nothing to deter the excitement of the 156 young sailors competing in the 2021 U.S. Youth Sailing Championship. All 19 years old and younger, the sailors raced across five fleets: 29er, International 420, ILCA 7 (Standard), ILCA 6 (Radial), and Nacra 15.
The event kicked off today in wet and windy conditions, and all fleets completed at least one race. “It was definitely a physical day today,” says Mitch Brindley, US Sailing Fleet Coach. “We had great wind, big waves, and plenty of rain.”
