Conditions
The wind finally came in today, the last day of racing
at US SAILING’s 2006 U.S. Youth Sailing Championship, sponsored by
Vanguard Sailboats and Nautica and hosted by Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.
After losing the second day of racing to a lack of wind, the weather
looked promising this morning as the sailors prepared to get on the water.
Chris Vetter and Kelsee Connor (both from St. Petersburg, Fla.) took an
initial lead in the 29er class’ inaugural appearance and never let it go.
The same could not have been said for the remaining three classes –
Laser, Laser Radial, and Club 420 - where it came down to the last race.
The top teams in each fleet sailed a remarkably consistent regatta, so
the outcome was by no means assured for anyone. The competition was fierce
throughout the regatta among the 150 sailors who were selected by sailing
resume from a list of more than 300 applicants.
