'CentrePort International Youth Match Racing Regatta 2010' RPNYC Events

Racing resumed this morning, on the second day of the CentrePort Youth Match Racing, outside the Royal Port Nicholson YC and Round robin 1 was was completed just before lunch today.

Royal Sydney Yacht Squardron skipper Jordan Reece topped Round Robin 1 followed by fellow Australian Will Mackenzie, Matt Steven finished in third and rounding out the top four was Tim Coltman.

Day 2 of the CentrePort International Youth Match Racing Regatta was just one of those days, with a series of gear mishaps. In the morning's racing, a side stay jumped out of the spreader and in the afternoon a traveller cleat was replaced. In the Flight 7 rematch Mackenzie beat Reece by a 3 minute 33 second margin after RSYS's Reece had a temporary mainsheet failure.

RPNYC skipper Matt Steven got off to a great start in Round Robin 2 with 3 consecutive wins, matched only by Cruising Yacht Club of Australia skipper Will Mckenzie. Round Robin 1 winner Jordan Reece was unable to sustain the momentum and has dropped his first three matches in round robin 2.

At 4.30pm this afternoon the halfway mark of Round Robin 2 was reached but the winds had become too strong to continue. All sailors retired to the Wardroom to enjoy the social side of the regatta and Round Robin 2 will resume tomorrow
