Wrapping up a week of racing here in Gdynia at the 2025 Youth Match Racing World Championship. After a solid start to the round robin, we were unable to piece it together finishing up 10th place.

As always, the international competition was top tier and the team comes away with so many learnings & lots of great memories, ready to take into our coming regattas back on home soil 🥝🇳🇿

Josh and Zach now head to LA for the Governors Cup which kicks off tomorrow 🇺🇸

Productive week in Sydney putting in the hours in the RS21 in preparation for the Youth Worlds this week ⛵️

From light winds to excessive chop, we experienced it all. The big emphasis we placed on boat handling has left us feeling prepared and excited to jump into the boats in Poland! 🇵🇱

Great result for the team over the weekend, placing 2nd at the Captain John Piper Regatta hosted by the CYCA 🥈. The light & shifty conditions proved great preparation for the upcoming Youth Match Racing Wold Championships in Poland which kick off next week.

The team now starts an intense 1 week training block in Sydney before flying off to Poland on Friday ✈️.

🥇🥇🥇Third consecutive win of NZ youth international
This win for the team sets a record for the regatta of most wins of the event, let alone in a row. It was a great way to end the 24/25 summer season after doing 7 events across 3 countries. Once again great work from the team .fong5 .coughlan
