The National Bank International Youth Match Racing Championships - Day Three

Defending champion Josh Junior still unbeaten!



by Barry Davies

Defending champion Josh Junior representing the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, has continued his form and still leads overall with an unbeaten scorecard of 17 wins.

Next on 14 wins each is William Tiller representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron’s Jordan Reece.

Another duo are tied for fourth place overall Josh Porebski also from the RPNYC in Wellington and the regatta’s only female skipper Stephanie Hazard representing the RNZYS.

Both Josh Junior and Jordan Reece had fantastic day’s on the water this afternoon winning all their Round Robin Two matches.

The final 3 flights of Round Robin One were completed early this morning as the Race Committee were very relieved to start on time with such a light forecast. The breeze then died out and racing was delayed for a brief period in the middle of the day.

Once the breeze picked up again the Race Committee started Round Robin Two and kept on rolling! Flight Eight was the final flight for the day which ended at 7pm. The Race Committee successfully completed a total of eleven flights in one day!

Racing begins at 10am Sunday morning, with Flight Nine of Round Robin Two, Semi Finals & Finals.
