Credit: After the decision was made to replace the Yngling class with Match Racing last year, I have to admit I didn’t think I’d be getting in a Yngling again too soon…How wrong I was!
The first event the Elliott 6s are due to arrive for is Kiel next month and therefore the decision was made to run the Delta Lloyd Regatta in Holland next week in Ynglings. For the last two weeks we have therefore been training in Ynglings in Poole. Although Annie has remained in the middle trimming, with me moving from bow to helm since 2007 and Ally never having set foot in a Yngling before, the training has been very useful not only to get used to sailing these boats but also to continue getting used to match racing with just three crew, not something done much on the current circuit.
The Delta Lloyd Regatta will be the second time the new Olympic discipline match racing will join the other classes in an ISAF World Sailing Cup event. This will be my fourth visit to Medemblik having been once in a Mirror, once in a 470 and last time in the Yngling. We are expecting a good entry this year and Annie, Ally and I are looking forward to racing together again. We’ll keep you posted with how it goes!
Enjoy the sun!
Lucy
