Day #3 - How to Follow - Moving Day at Youth Worlds

Welcome to moving a day at the 48th annual Youth Sailing World Championships. Here is how you can follow day 3 three of the colossal event.

Welcome to moving day at the 48th annual Youth Sailing World Championships.
 
If the schedule holds to form, by the end of today 69 of the 101 scheduled races will be completed. That means there’ll be scant opportunities in the final two days to make any significant moves up the leaderboard. So, if a crew is looking to move up the board, today’s the day to make a charge.

Similarly, class leaders will be looking to tighten their grip, to add a bit more separation on the chasing pack, to continue to survive as the hunted.
 
Team USA holds the outright lead in four of the nine classes-Boys’ (JC Hermus and Walter Henry) and Girls’ 420 (Carmen and Emma Cowles), Girls’ Laser Radial (Charlotte Rose) and Boys’ RS:X (Geronimo Nores)-and is placed third overall in a fifth class, the Girls’ 29er (Berta Puig and Bella Casaretto).
 
Team Norway leads two classes, the Boys’ (Mathias Berthet) and Girls’ (Pia Andersen and Nora Edland) 29er, while Team New Zealand (Boys’ Laser Radial, Josh Armit), Team Italy (Girls’ RS:X, Giorgia Speciale) and Team Argentina (Nacra, Teresa Romairone and Dante Cittadini) round out the class leaders.

About the Youth Worlds

The Youth Worlds was first held in Sweden in 1971. The 2018 Youth Sailing World Championships will be the 48th edition of the championship.

As the regatta evolved further classes were added to bring the best young sailing talent across the world together in one place and in 1984 the Mistral windsurfer was added to the list of events with Knut Budig (GER) taking the first gold medal in San Diego, California.

Past notable winners include American’s Cup skippers, Chris Dickson (NZL), Russell Coutts (NZL), Dean Barker (NZL); Olympic medallists, Nathan Outteridge (AUS), Iain Jensen (AUS), Robert Scheidt (BRA), Amelie Lux (GER), Ben Ainslie (GBR), Iain Percy (GBR), Alessandra Sensini (ITA), Elise Rechichi (AUS) and Tessa Parkinson (AUS); Volvo Ocean Race sailors like Stuart Bannatyne (NZL) and Richard Clarke (CAN).
