Josh Junior and his team from the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club of Matt Steven and Chris Jones have successfully defended their title and won the 2010 National Bank International Youth Match Racing Championships in style. Junior and his formidable crew didn't lose a single race in the Double Round Robin series and only one race to second placed William Tiller in the finals this afternoon.
In the finals series Josh Junior won the first race by 41 seconds but Tiller and his crew representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron won the next by 12 seconds to keep the series alive. But the results ended exactly the same at last year with Junior winning the final race by 43 seconds and the overall win.
In the petit-final third overall from the round robins Jordan Reece representing the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron held onto his position beating Josh Porebski 2 race to nil.
The Race Committee did an amazing job in the very light and variable conditions which the Waitemata Harbour produced over the last four days.
The Race Officer, Gerald Flynn was “very relieved and started to relax” after the final flights of Round Robin two were completed this morning. Then it was a case of “hurry up and wait” as no further races were started until 4pm when the reduced finals series began.
