Semi Finals at NESPRESSO Youth International Match Racing Championship

Auckland, New Zealand (February 15, 2014) – The field is narrowing on the third day of the NESPRESSO Youth International Match Racing Championship, with the finals slated for tomorrow.

Lion Foundation Youth Training Programme skipper George Brasell, representing the RNZYS, has taken an early lead in his semi-final against CYCA’s Harry Price, winning the first flight by only 1 second and topping off a very close day of racing off Bayswater Marina.

In an all Wellingtonian semi-final, both Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club crews are in a tough battle for home town supremacy, with Sam Mackey taking on younger clubman George Gautrey in what is a truly heart-felt encounter.
