Tricky Day One at ASAF Youth Sailing Cup Finals

Tricky Day One at ASAF Youth Sailing Cup Finals

Day one of the ASAF Youth Sailing Cup Finals here in Abu Dhabi saw some tricky conditions that tested the young athletes.

At the start of the racing for the day, the breeze was shifty and led to  marks on all courses being adjusted as the racing progressed through the day. This is one of the facts that could well be turning this regatta into a very high scoring one, as all the top sailors drop results, and pile on the points.

Today three races were completed  and tomorrow for each fleet, the races on all courses are due to start at midday local time and three races will be sailed.

At the end of the day there are three different nations leading each of the classes and the battle for the ASAF Nations Cup for the best performing nation is very close between Hong Kong, Malaysia and India.
