Steady breeze greets YOG sailors

SAILING: The 101 sailors from 62 nations are all rigged up, suited and booted and ready for the opening day of the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games Sailing Competition.

A steady breeze in the region of 5-6 knots from a north easterly direction will test the racers on Lake Jinniu.

At 11:30 the postponement was lowered ensuring the fleet will take to the water and get racing away early in the afternoon. Three races are scheduled for the day with the Techno 293 fleet racing on Race Area A and the Byte CII on Race Area B.

The Bytes will race three consecutive races. The Techno Boys will sail two, followed by the Girls who will race two. The boys will take to the water for a final race after the girls who will then race a single race after the boys.

Australia is represented in the Bytes only by Elyse Ainsworth and Thomas Cunich. Read more about their preparation for the Youth Olympic Games here >>
