Coming down to the wire, Sweeney Takes the St. Lucia National Optimist Sailing Title

Young Opti sailors race under stormy conditions.
Saturday 13th June, thirteen of St. Lucia's top junior sailors battled it out in the St. Lucia Optimist Championships. The young sailors took to the stormy seas in Rodney Bay to demonstrate the racing skills they had learned through the Youth Sailing Programme sponsored by the St. Lucia Yacht Club from coaches Rob Hemming, Chris Lowe & Katie Yeo. The morning schedule was for three races; driving rain with variable winds up to 20 knots made for some tough conditions but the juniors persevered. In the end, the weather cleared, the winds settled and six races were run. After a hard fought battle, Marcus Sweeney took the overall first place.

St Lucia J24 Open
Over this past weekend, the St Lucia Yacht Club held the "J24 St Lucia Open" with two visiting teams from Barbados joining four local teams. The event was held in the island's six J24s with a series of twelve races over Saturday and Sunday. Light and shifty winds made for some very close racing and exciting gains and losses. Boats were changed after each session of races with no owners sailing their own boats which made it fairer to the visitors and fun for owners to see how their boats did with other crews on board.
