Youth Worlds - One of the Toughest Events in the Calendar
"The youth worlds is one of the toughest events in the calendar. We experienced all the wind conditions possible and, our young team showed some great promise putting in some solid results durning the series. Big lessons have been learnt for each class that are invaluable to their progression. This showed great promise for what the future holds for Irish sailing." team coach Sean Evans.
These are post race quotes I got from the sailors -
