Cadets On Tour
Cadet 9631
James Hayward (Waldringfield SC)
Alex Warrington (TBYC)
3rd Indicator and World Team Selections – Weymouth
The boys were starting the final indicator in 1st place and 8 points clear, so in a good position! However the Saturday proved very windy and with just 2 races they posted a 22nd and a 25th after 2 very unfortunate downwind capsizes just before the finish line! This didn’t help things as Sunday was forecast as very light and may not even be able to race!
Luckily there was a force 2 in the morning but they still only posted an 18th – nail-biting stuff for the parents!! In the 2nd race things went more their way with a ninth and in the decreasing wind for the final race they finished in style with a win!
So in the final rankings they finished the selection series in 3rd place and comfortably in the team! – 7 boats plus a reserve will go to Medemblik in the summer.
In the meantime there’s all the training with RYA top coach, Adam Bowers.
-oh, and they managed to win the Waldringfield SC Open meeting last weekend too!! Lets hope they carry on in this way in Holland……
