Despite their academic commitments, young sailors at the Vikings Sailing Club recently made a strong showing for the Autumn Series, sponsored by Pisani Beddings Ltd.

In all, 19 boats took part. The unpredictable weather conditions offered some stiff challenges to the participants. These varied from light winds to a squall and heavy shower on Day Two, in races 5 and 6.

One of the most exciting moments was on Day Three, in race 8, when two young girls (novices from SkolaSport) were leading the fleet in the Mirror 10 class. Unfortunately for them, due to lack of experience, they got entangled in the buoys and lost their lead.
