The L&T YAI Junior National Sailing Regatta 2018 kick started today in Chennai with 159 sailors belonging to 16 clubs from across the country assembled to compete in 7 classes. The day began with light winds which slowly picked up as day progressed that enabled the Race Officers to complete 2 races for the day. The patience and enthusiasm of the young sailors was praiseworthy. Kudos to the Race Officials and Jury for managing the show on Day 1 in a busy port with very light winds. Support of enthusiastic volunteers was also noteworthy. Expecting the competition to hot up as days progress.
