Hobie 16 Youth & Women's North American Championship July 21-23
Sandy Hook Bay Catamaran Club Atlantic Highlands New Jersey

Tyler Myers and Ryan Mazzeo win the Youth. Susan Korz and Diane Bisesi win the Women.

Nine races where completed by PRO Mark Santorelli with two light air races on both Friday and Sunday. The RC took advantage of good 10 to 15 knot winds on Saturday to complete five races for the day.

Former Hobie 16 Open North American champion crew Tyler Myers sailing with Ryan Mazzeo won the Hobie 16 Youth North Americans this weekend. The youth regatta is open to all sailors 19 years of age and under. In nine races over three days this young team held off a talented fleet of 16 top notch youth teams. Matt Perkins, another Hobie crew all star turned skipper, finished second sailing with Mike Iames. T.J. Tullo and Niki Kennedy, past 420 North American Champions, finish third. Tullo also represented the US at the 2005 ISAF Youth Worlds in Hobie 16s. Another pair of dinghy converts Sam Ingham and Grahm Gardner finished fourth. The 2006 US Youth Multihull Champion Sarah Newberry sailing with Jamie Grisco finished fifth. In sixth were locals Eric Raybon and Jason Bilow who just last week qualified to represent the US at the 2007 ISAF Youth Worlds in Hobie 16s.

The Women's result appeared clear from the beginning. Susan Korz, recent ISAF World Sailing Games Bronze medallist, sailing with Hobie ace Diane Bisesi won the event with all bullets. Winning the close race for second was Lynn Myers and Janet Payne. Rounding out the top three in the ten boat women's fleet was Kathryn Garlick and Sharon Woodruff.

The regatta was concluded with an old school hull flying contest won by youth coach Mike Siau.

Kudos to Fleet 250 and the RC for running a great event. They definitely maximized the available sailing time in between the calm periods and the storms. The RC also went out of their way to make my daughter feel comfortable; she is clearly not a national-level youth skipper, but the RC provided some timely on the water coaching for the "slower" boats and even put someone on her boat for personal training. I'm not saying that every kid should come to a National event and expect help, but this was definitely a great example of the beachcat spirit. She learned a lot and she will be back.
