From ISAF Youth Worlds:”There is no stopping Brazil’s Martin Lowy and Kim Andrade after they secured their sixth consecutive race win in the SL16 at the 41st ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship in Zadar, Croatia.
The boys have a perfect score card after discarding the 15 points assigned following their retirement from the first race. With six points they have a huge 20 point advantage over Tomer Simhony and Ellie Louise Copeland (NZL).
Lowy said, “This championship has been very good for us. We have had some good positions. The weather is very good. “We are very happy, our speed has been very good. We are on the right track. It’s been a pleasure.” And Andrade added, “It’s perfect.”
