After being assigned their new Nacra 15 catamarans, Ceci and Mikey Wollmann along with the crews at the Aon Youth Worlds got a wild welcome in the Practice Race sailed off Torbay.
The twin trapeze multihull proved to be a challenge for all crews in winds which gusted up to 25kts. The Nacra 15 is being sailed for the first time at a Youth Worlds, and has been developed specially for the regatta and the Youth Olympics.
Similar conditions are expected for the first day of racing on Friday.
