Penultimate day at US Youth Champs

Bristol, RI (July 9, 2015) – The trend of light and fickle winds continued for the third day of the 2015 U.S. Youth Sailing Championships, but allowed for four of the fleets to complete two races, while the Laser Radial fitted in three races.

Current leaders are Richie Gordon (Laser, 7 races), Henry Marshall (Laser Radial, 7 races), Mark Brunsvold / Anderson Brunsvold (F16, 9 races), Romain Screve / Quinn Wilson (29er, 9 races), and Will Logue / Bram Brakman (I420, 7 races).

Races are held July 7-10 on Narragansett Bay and Mount Hope Bay. Laser, Laser Radial and I-420 will sail up to 12 races. The Formula 16 and 29er will sail up to 15 races.

Many of this week’s winners will qualify for the US Sailing Team Sperry Youth World Team and compete at the 2015 ISAF Youth World Championships in Langkawi, Malaysia from December 27 to January 3.

The 2015 edition of the U.S. Youth Sailing Championships will be hosted by Roger Williams University at the newly constructed Richard L. Bready Mount Hope Bay Sailing and Education Center, and supported by the Bristol Yacht Club.
