 The Lake Eustis Sailing Club held its 7th Annual Florida Inland Lake Youth Championship
Regatta for boys and girls 8 to 18 years of age in Optimist Prams, Laser 4.7, Laser radials and Club 420 boats this past weekend.  Hurricane Sandy passed by and left Wind Advisory for Lake County with 15 to 20 mph winds on the lake for fast and exciting racing for the 40 boats that came from across Florida for the competition.

The Club 420 winner was Carrie Marshall followed by Nicole Tullo and Della Lache.   Alecia Muscato was the first Laser4.7.  Chris Nagy was the second and Bailey Verkaik  third.   In the Laser radial class Adam Winton was first, Andrew Clark second and Luke Yates third.

The 24 boat Optimist Pram Class was divided into in experienced (green) fleet, inter mediate (white) fleet and advanced (blue).  The green fleet first place was McKenna Wherry, second Noah Lorenzen, and third Quinn Duckett.  Justin Callahan was the white fleet winner and Overall Opti fleet winner.  Wes Myler was white fleet second and Downing Nightingale third.  Max Epaillard was the first blue fleet and the second overall in the Opti.  Tyler Baker was the second blue fleet and the third overall.  Mathew Smith was the third in blue fleet.

Club racing returns next week and the MC scow Southeastern District Championship Regatta the week following. 

Classes for youth continue every Saturday with a new beginner’s class starting November 10, 2012
