Ben and Jacob looking strong in the 29er World Championships

We wish CYCA’s Youth Sailing Academy (YSA) Advanced Squad sailor Ben Crafoord, and his crew Jacob Marks all the best for tomorrow as they head into the 3-day Finals Series at the 29er World Championship.

We are happy to report they are currently in top position. So far, our boys have had an awesome start to the week, scoring 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1 and there is plenty of breeze forecast which will suit them!

Watch the interview from Day 1 here.

They are looking strong for the finals tomorrow.

The 29er is proving a fun and very welcoming fleet, with many of the more experienced sailors passing on support to the younger teams, demonstrating that it really is a team sport through and through.

With closely fought battles on the race course and incredible skill level amongst these young athletes, there is a wonderful sense of joy and camaraderie in the boat park.
