Youth America's Cup 2013. The American Youth Sailing
Force (The Force) greeted twelve international youth teams vying for four spots
in September's main regatta in last month’s trials. With the competitors now
selected, The Force gets down to work training on the AC45 this Friday. They
know what’s needed to win the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup.
During
the international trials, The Force’s yacht management and local skills made
them instant experts while forging friendships with many of the would-be
competitors. Team member, Mikey Radziejowski is excited about The Force meeting
the international sailors, 'It was awesome getting to spend some time around our
future competition. Whether they made into the Red Bull Youth America's Cup or
not, it was great to get to know fellow youth sailors who were all here with the
same goals.'
The Force’s detailed knowledge of the high-performance AC45
catamarans made them the go-to guys on the compound. 'Being in charge of the two
Oracle Team USA AC45s and already being selected, instantly made us experts in
front of all the international teams, and we had a lot of questions being asked
about rigging and sailing the boats, even though we had only three days of
sailing beforehand. The other really cool thing is, we ended up bonding with
some of the other teams, and becoming good friends with some,' Mikey explained.
