Five TBC young sailors took part in the Welsh Youth Championships held over the weekend of the 26th and 27th April at Pwllheli Sailing Club.
Eilish Thomas - Topper
Hanna Campbell - Topper
Jonathon Morris - Topper
Daniel Rowlands - Topper
William Thomas - Topper 4.2
Day one with blustery conditions (18 knot Southerly) saw 105 sailors take to the water with 4ft waves and dolphins joining in - four races were held.
Day two started with no wind but after a 2 hour delay for bacon butties the wind managed a fickle 5 knots and a single race was competeted.
Jonathon (12th overall) and Eilish (18th overall) raced well and justified all the time spent on the water, the future looks bright.
Hanna (35th overall) and Daniel (41st overall) did extremely well but in a fleet of this size and high standard their lack of experience gave them a difficult task and they should be proud of this their first performance at a national level.
William with his smaller sail (he is still only 10yrs) sailed in the regatta fleet and must be commended for his efforts against much older competitors with faster sail configurations.
The TBC youngsters are all at the younger end of the age scale and will several years remaining in the youth ranks promises to the future are positive.
Congratulations to our young sailors the TBC is proud of you 'Keep waving the TBC banner'
