Junior Champs 2008

With water flat calm it didn't look like it was going to be possible to run the Junior Championships. But by 11am the mist had lifted and a very light breeze filled in, and a dozen juniors took to the water. The courses were kept short and simple in the light wind and 2 races were completed before lunch. At lunch there were 2 joint leaders (Alex and Sam) on 3 points, with only the 2 of them able to win there was talk of Ben Ainsley tactics coming into play. The final race was sailed in a dying breeze as the rain began to fall. It was nip and tuck at the front between the 3 full rig lasers, with Thomas taking the lead at one point, but in the end it came down to the 2 leaders and Alex just managed to get his nose ahead to take the line and the championship. After a very wet packing away, it was back to the clubhouse and prizes for all that took part.
