ANTIGUANICE YACHTING INSIDER NEWSLETTER

A number of our young Antiguan sailors represented us internationally last month in two youth sailing events. Rocco Falcone, Louis Bavay, Daniel Smit and Jalese Gordon were at the 2018 Youth Sailing Championships in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Rocco and Louis competed in the 29er Boys class, Daniel in the Laser Radial Boys, and Jalese in the Laser Radial Girls class. Final results saw Rocco and Louis 18th of 25 teams, Daniel landing 35th of 58, and Jalese claiming 35th of 46. Click here to see full regatta results.

The second Antiguan team headed to the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia, where Jules Mitchell and Rhone Kirby competed in the Laser Class.

Coach Ashley Rhodes gave detailed reviews of each race day, click to read: Race Day 1, Race Day 2, Race Day 3, Race Day 4, Race Day 5, and Race Day 6.
