In spite of some significant initial challenges this championship was successfully conducted, with excellent weather conditions on four of the five scheduled racing days. It was notable that some of the coaches lacked a proper understanding of the redress rules in the RRS, and this led to unrealistic expectations being raised amongst some of the young sailors after the first day of fleet racing. During the remainder of the championship the jury made a point of assisting the coaches in this important area. - RSADH7
