SLYC 2010
CHAMPION “UNBRIDLED”
The
2010 IGY Sponsored J24 Club Championship in
collaboration with the St.Lucia Yacht Club came
to an exciting end at the weekend for the J24
Class. The showpiece on the day saw all six
of SLYC boats sailout to greet the starter for
the six short races planned to decide this year’s
Club Champion.
With winds of 10 to 15 knots from the East/South
East what more could one have asked for. It
was a perfect day for sailing which also provided
an excellent test of skills for all contestants
and a great spectacle for all the spectators
including those on board the “Endless
Summer” catamaran.
‘Banana Wind’, crewed by a group
of experienced SLYC Junior Sailors
(Erik Matthew Simmons, Thomas Meixner, Luc Chevrier,
Eduardo St Paul, Stephanie Lovell) coached by
Ben Todd the Club’s Senior Coach showed
just how well they can compete against all of
the other J24 sailors, after only two days of
solid training, with finishing places of: -
4th; 5th; 3rd; 2nd; 2nd; 2nd to give them 3rd
place overall on 18 points.
