U.S. Youth Champions Crowned

The Club 420s, International 420s, Lasers, Radials, and 29ers sailed their final races today.

In windy conditions, five classes of youth sailors duked it out for the title of National Champion off Grosse Pointe Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. In many of the classes, competition was so close that the final race was the deciding factor for the title. Congratulations to all the new National Champions:
