The first event of the ASAF Youth Sailing Cup 2017-18 series, and the 9th edition of the India International Regatta kicked off in style, with 3 races being completed on schedule on the first day of racing. The event will finish with prize giving ceremony scheduled in the evening of 31 December and all sailors, officials, coaches and parents will then join the Asian Sailing Federation and the Yachting Association of India along with Tamil Nadu Sailing Association and Yachting Association of Andhra Pradesh in welcoming the New Year 2018 !!
More than 166 representing 9 nations including India have entered in the event, which will feature the Optimist, Laser 4.7 Laser Radial and the 420 classes. This event is supported by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs and the State Government of Andhra Pradesh.
Alexander Baudin decided to make his parting shot at the Optimist class a memorable one. At the India International Regatta off Krishnapatnam Port, the Stockholm resident stamped his class with two authoritative wins on Thursday. In the first he got the gun about seven to 10 boat lengths ahead and in the second by thrice as many.
Advancing from inland sailing at Lake Baggersfjarden near his native city, he made all the outings in the Mediterranean and Black seas and the Atlantic Ocean worthwhile in the clean waters along the Coromandel coastline. “I’ve had a few accidents during Alpine skiing but sailing almost every day with a few breaks in between has been fun,” the 15-year-old said.
He loves both because they are outdoor sports and close to nature. Alexander followed in the footsteps of his father but now looks to legends Ben Ainslie of Britain, a four-time Olympic gold medallist and Robert Scheidt of Brazil, who was supreme in two editions of the quadrennial games. So does he seek to step up to the Laser class in future.
