Sebastian Kempe & Nicole Stovell
There are some tense scenarios lining up for the final day of the Allianz Youth World Sailing Championships in The Hague on Thursday.
Today’s wind gradually built from 5 knots through to a healthier 8 to 10 knots in the mid-afternoon and topped out at 14 knots with good waves by the early evening.
The change of conditions brought a few changes to some of the leaderboards in the 11 diverse sailing events. Last year’s champion in the ILCA 6 male one-person dinghy struggled in today’s three races.
Bermuda’s Sebastian Kempe has worn the leader’s yellow bib since day one but he goes into the final day wearing a standard bib having dropped to fourth overall. Just four points ahead of him are three sailors all tied at the top on 26 points.
Peter Barnard (USA), Rocco Wright (IRL) and Ole Schweckendiek (GER) are all tied, with two races still to be sailed on Thursday, any one of these four, along with the Israeli and Slovenian sailors, have a realistic shot at Gold.
Eve McMahon sailed out of her skin to notch up scores of 3,1,1, moving the Irish sailor out to a comfortable lead ahead of the ILCA 6 Female fleet, Bermuda’s Nicole Stovell has moved up to 20th with 93 Net Points.
