Putting techniques learned into practice -Optimist – Martigues 13-14 May

Sunday 14^th May. A two day trip and two days of peak performance for some of our young sailors in the Optimist category from the Yacht Club de Monaco’s Sports Section. During four races held in varying conditions, the Minime (13-15-year-old) rookies showed what they are capable of achieving finishing in the top 20 in almost all races.

Roman Lampert came 42^nd out of 75 ahead of Frederik Holst 46^th and Oceane Schroeder 47^th. In the youngest category (Benjamin) in the three races Pietro Carlevaris came 20^th out of 46 and first poussin, Louis Pompee 30^th and 2^nd poussin, Louis Faivre 34^th and 3^rd poussin.

Victor Holst, Anastasia Verpeka Dolling and Mona Benchekroun competing in their first ever regatta came 40^th, 41^st and 43^rd. It was a great opportunity for them to cut their racing teeth and find out how they measure up with the competition ahead of upcoming meetings.
