The speed of boats was mixed with finesse and patience and those who remain stuck to that witness success in the US youth championship. It proved as the key ingredients to victory for newly crowned and celebrated Youth Champs on 2018. This year the event 2018 U.S. Youth Sailing Championships was hosted by the Carolina Yacht Club and the championship concluded on Wednesday following the three days of racing from Wrightsville Beach, N.C.

On Wednesday, in-order to fit in the additional racing after the washed out on Tuesday, the race committee switched to the start time up to 10:00 am ET.

This morning, the 29er, Techno 293 Plus, Nacra 15 and I 420 fleets participated in and the others in the afternoon facing the strong breeze. The Laser Radials and Laser had to wait till afternoon for the winds and the sea breeze to start the race.

The conditions on first two days of the race that is on Sunday and Monday varied in their own way. There was heat and humidity and sailors hailing from across the country battled the condition. On Sunday, the strong winds waved and the sea breeze made great conditions for sailing on Sunday with 13 to 18 knots. The fleet who was on the top of their game, took the full advantage of this condition.

On Monday, the heat and humidity was a bit less, but the wind conditions remain fluctuating considerably.
