The results in the Radials went down to wire with World Youth Radial Champion Conor Nicholas (WA) just edging out Finn Alexander (NSW) with a win in the final race of the series. Finn, who held a small lead going into the last day, had a costly Rule 42 penalty 100 metres from the finish of race 10 leaving the result open to last race which Conor won. Brody Riley (VIC) was a comfortable 3rd followed by Manami Doi from Japan. Manami was the first woman just one point ahead of Ashley Stoddart (QLD). The full Radial Gold Fleet results are HERE.

Seven days of sailing in the Australian National Optimist Championship
Congratulations to Otto Henry, the National Champion (for the second time!)
Our kids had a huge week in last weeks Optimist Nationals sailed on Botany Bay. During the first few days, the weather was atrocious. Our young sailors experienced Opti sailing in gusts over 25 knots and in over 100 mm of rain. Visibility was poor, so much so, a support boat turned on its more powerful lights to show the position of the finish line. The kids got much better avoiding spectacular nose dives and capsizing on the run. Sailing at the end of Kingsford Smith runway also gets interesting. On the last day 3 optimists were laid flat as a 747 flew low overhead. Needless to say the whole week was a big challenge for our relatively young group. They have certainly learnt heaps, and return much more experienced.
15 optimists sailed in the three fleets, with most in open fleet. The qualifying series was sailed in heavy wet conditions, and then the final series was in lighter conditions. So the lighter kids who had a tough few days came back stronger at the end. Matilda Richardson and Jazzy Evenden made it into gold fleet. Lily Richardson had a tough qualifying series, but bounced back to get six in silver and John Faulkner sailed to a good ninth.
MYC did get on the podium in Intermediate and Green Fleets. Millie Evenden won green, winning the same trophy as Tyrone Gowans did in 2009. New member Jeremy Gray won 3rd in Intermediate
Open Fleet - 124 competitors
Intermediate Fleet - 83 Competitors
Green Fleet - 46 Competitors
