If any of you are interested, and are of the Facebook persuasion, the Yoof has set up a page that'll enable you to follow his exploits and development...

12th at the D-One Europeans at the age of 15 (and only sailing the boat 3 times previously) says not. |

Excellent ... it was no doubt a fun event but it is not the place to get noticed by the RYA if he really does have "Olympic aspirations" You need to be doing the youth pathway in the Laser radial. Jamie Calder is 15 and is on his way to the ISAF youth worlds this summer; that is where he needs to be ... Now; many would argue that he's better off having fun sailing the D-1 ... but that is not the typical route to Olympic glory ...

With the greatest respect, I fully agree with the above. I doubt very much that the RYA will concern themselves with mid-fleet result in an emerging class populated by predominantly middle age blokes. It's a token result on a sailing CV it at best, the squad route is almost certainly the only path to tread if Olympic aspirations are genuine. Be careful what you wish for on that front.... the D-One sounds a lot more fun to me. |

Then you'll be delighted to know that he was picked up by the RYA to transition directly in to the Laser Std as he's too big for the Radial (this at only 14). He's also unable to take part in ISAF International Laser events as there's a lower age limit of 17 (sailing age), hence him taking the opportunity to broaden his horizons.
Rather than sniping about a young lad with ambitions, why don't you go and read Nick Craig's reports on this very website, about how Cam trained and raced in the D-One first before slating him, or do you rate your opinion higher than his? Edited by Bootscooter - 01 Jul 14 at 5:16pm |
