BT GAMES SAS YOUTH NATIONALS 2010
Every year youth sailors from around the country get
together for their annual South African Sailing (SAS)
Youth National Championship. This event is rotated
between the regions and attracts on average between 200
and 300 sailors at every level of ability, from novices
and first-time national event competitors to our top
youth that campaign for world championship and high
performance squad selections. Competitors as young as 7
years old up to the maximum age of 18 years old enjoy a
full week of competitive racing at international
standards as well as many fun activities off the water.

Report Back
Dylan was 9th overall, 5th African and 1st South African.
His team made up of Dylan, Claire Walker(KZN Midmar) and Sam Hancock (KZN
Midmar) were the overall winners of the team sailing competition, beating
the much favoured Danish team, in what I believe was a nailbiting race, in
the finals.
You can read about this in the report on the last day.
