Hobie 16 North Americans, Ventura CA
Hobie 16 Youth and Women’s North Americans after 5
races:
The second day of the Hobie 16 Youth and Womens North
Americans had some welcomed breeze. After a light wind
first day, with only one race completed, the fleets
had a building breeze that peaked at close to twenty
knots late in the afternoon.
With one day remaining Jason and Charles Hess from
Guatemala are dominating the Youth fleet with five
bullets in the first five races of the series. These
young guys are the top team from a competitive fleet
and are likely to be right up there in the Open
Championship next week. Last years Youth Champions,
Mike Siau and Trey James (NY), are in second place
going into the last day.
After a slow start Annie Nelson (CA) and Kathy
Kulkoski (NJ) have taken the lead in the Women’s
fleet. It appears that the increased wind was a bit
more to their liking. The pair won race four and five
today.
