J22 Youth Champs Articles / Sailing Posted by markb on Jul 20, 2010 - 10:18 PM The annual J22 youth regatta, a five day event was held on the 12th June finishing on the 16th. Well done to our PSC Team helmed by Dawie Doubell and our new PSC members Joeline Tofts, Greg and Neil Barnard who finished in fifth place. Sailing “Jay Walker” jointly owned by Steve Thysse and Rob Watson. Thank you both. This was the first time for all of our team in this prestigious, but hard work event. There were strong winds and very cold nights. A big thanks to TYC for making them so welcome and lighting big log fires and allowing them to sleep in the club lounge when it became too cold for camping. Thanks also to all the sponsors, who were fantastic, from lending their boats to the youngsters, as well as providing substantial cooked breakfasts to get them off to a good start to the day. PSC contributed some cool drinks and chocolate bars to keep the youngsters going during the long sailing days. We have been invited to compete again next year, so let’s start in the new season, The owners of “Jay Walker” have invited our Juniors to go and practice on her throughout the year so let’s take advantage of this fantastic offer and get Our Team Going!
