The December 17th “Equinox” Youth Regatta

This regatta was a huge success thanks to the many volunteers who contributed their time and resources to the event. Youth sailors came from Lake Eustis, Daytona, St. Augustine, Epping Forest, The Rudder Club, Charleston and several other clubs to sail in this regatta. After the event, FYC Youth Sailing parents put on a free Bar-B-Q and presented awards to all of the winners in the 420, Laser Radial, Optimist and Optimist Green Fleets. It was a beautiful December day in the 70’s and with light winds out of the North. Congratulations to Lulee Yates, Ryan Clarke, Johnny Fewell and Mathew Smith for winning respectively in those fleets. FYC sailors Ben Townsend, Reedy Monahan and Ben Egan also placed in their divisions. Please see the youth sailing portion of our website for complete results!

Youth sailing took a small break in January but now they are back on the water again. Both the Lake Eustis Presidents Day Regatta and the Valentine’s Day Regatta in St. Petersburg are on the schedule this month.
