Since the new wind on the forum is about showing kids and youth sailing a catamaran I thought a bit of non-hobie example was justified.
So here goes
http://www.gulfportyachtclub.com/12 Year Old Zach Lynch Takes 2nd Place in Gulfport Yacht Club Race
Gulfport Yacht Club wrapped up its Spring Racing Series on Saturday with 4 races on beautiful Boca Ciega Bay. The races were sailed in moderate winds with a nice sea breeze kicking up for the last race of the day. Olli and Kelly Jason took first place overall with wins in 3 of the 4 races. The big story of the day however was 12 year old Zach Lynch Skippering his F16 catamaran, with father Matt as his crew, to a second place overall finish including a first place finish in the 2nd race. Robi Robles took third place.
Snatching a race win from the Jasons ?
Well done Zach !
