ABYC’s Youth shine in J22 Youth Keelboat Champs

Four of the Algoa Bay Yacht Club youth sailors competed in the J22 Youth Keelboat Champs, at Hartebeespoort Dam (TYC) this past week. Our Youth Team represented ABYC particularly well by achieving 3rd place overall, in a very competitive fleet of eleven J22 racers. Their Bronze Medal was determined in last (10th) race, when they sailed to a very convincing 1st place over the 2nd and 4th placed teams. Overall, RNYC and DAC took 1st and 2nd places respectively, with 4th placed PYC close behind ABYC. Well done to the team of Jordan van Zyl, Chad Bilsbury, Jenna Bailes & Bronwyn . . .
