24 junior sailors made the journey to a very sunny Prestwick Sailing Club for an Optimist, Topper & Feva youth regatta on the 3rd & 4th of June. It was the Scottish Championships for the Optimist fleet, with 10 sailors competing across the main and regatta fleets.
A very light breeze arrived on the Saturday and the decision was made to postpone by an hour. The fleet eventually launched and after an epic hour sail to the start line, the breeze had built enough to get proceedings under way.
Sunday dawned and again the breeze did not play ball. After a 30-minute postponement the fleet launched, and racing got under way with Isla MacLeod joining the main fleet.
Thanks to Prestwick Sailing Club for hosting the event and full results can be found at

The fleet moves onto the fabulous venue of Loch Tummel Sailing Club on the weekend of the 17th and 18th June for the next event, which is part of the RYA Scotland Youth and Junior Championships. There is a main fleet and a coached regatta fleet aimed at all levels of sailing and the Scottish Optimists look forward to seeing you there. Not sure if it is for you?
