Day 1 got off to a tricky start at the Youth Sailing World Championships, with very light winds delaying racing across all fleets. An early AP was posted, giving sailors time to relax on the beach, in the boat parks, and around the food court — sharing stories, meeting new friends, and waiting patiently for the breeze to fill in. By midday, AP over A flags began to appear, and several classes scheduled for later racing were unfortunately cancelled for the day. These included Formula Kite Men and Women, iQFOiL Men and Women, 420 Female, and 29er Female. Despite the challenging conditions, some fleets did make it onto the water. ILCA Men and Women, 420 Men, 29er Men, and Nacra 15 all managed to complete racing. 🎥 Today’s livestream focused on the 29er Men and the Nacra 15, and those fleets delivered some exciting moments. 🔹 29er Men Two races were completed in tough, light-air conditions. •⁠ ⁠Race 1 was won by the German brothers Tizian and Julian Lembeck, claiming the first race victory of the championship. •⁠ ⁠Race 2 went to the Polish duo Szymon Kolka and Bartosz Zmudzinski, the reigning 2025 29er EuroCup champions, who now sit third overall. The Australians Sebastian Cheng and Jacob Marks are currently second overall, with Sebastian — just 13 years old — showing remarkable composure at the helm. Leading the fleet after Day 1 are the Italians Giuseppe Montesano and Enrico Coslovich, whose consistent results give them a narrow one-point lead at the top of the standings. 🔹 Nacra 15 France took the lead in the Nacra 15, with Marius Praud and Emilie Mansouri taking two wins from two races, Followed by the US in second and Belgium in 3rd. --- 🔹 Other Fleets •⁠ ⁠ILCA Men & Women each completed one race.
