1 Welcome from the President of US Sailing
Dear U.S. Youth Championship Sailors,
Welcome to 2018 U.S. Youth Championship! We are very pleased to have Carolina Yacht Club in Wrightsville Beach as this year’s host and the club has planned a great event.
Hosting a US Sailing championship is a big undertaking. Elizabeth Schuett, Regatta Chair, has spent many hours working on the details for this event with the event’s respective committees. US Sailing is grateful for the year- long effort by all those involved. We also thank our sponsors, Gill NA and Hobie Polarized, as well as the local sponsors including Sterling Wealth Management, Bennett Brothers Yachts, Blockade Runner Hotel, Tama Café, North Sails, Tropic Sport, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Singletary, and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene B. Woodbury, whose generous support makes this premier racing event possible.
Competing in a US Sailing Championship may be a new racing experience for you. Each time it is a different group of sailors and an opportunity to make new friends and reconnect with others. The novelty of the event and the boats will surely make this memorable and challenging for you. Perhaps you will set a new personal record of achievement in sailing. Or, maybe sail- ing a less-familiar boat will bring you new insights about sailing your usual boat. Most of all, I hope you will simply have fun sailing and making new friendships anchored in your passion for the sport.
Sail fast, compete fairly and enjoy this unique experience. We are glad you are joining us.
Bruce Burton, President US Sailing

6 Local Conditions & Race Venue
June is a nice time of year for Wrightsville Beach. High temps are usually in the 80s with lows in the 70s. Water temps are usually in the mid 70s. As always in the summer there is a chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Typical June winds are a little less predictable, but an afternoon 12 to 15 knot sea breeze with 2 to 3-foot seas is the norm. There is a 4 to 5-foot tide swing creating some current in the sound but there should be no noticeable tidal currents after clearing the inlet or on either course.
From the CYC, sail south to Masonboro Inlet. At low tide care should be taken in the sound to avoid sandbars and shallow water mainly on the west side of the channel. Exit and enter Masonboro Inlet only between the 2 rock jetties. A falling tide with an opposing wind can produce large, sloppy swells at the mouth of the inlet. Give the rocks (and the fisherman) a wide berth at the end of the jetty. There is a breakwater connecting the north jetty to the island that is underwater at high tide. DO NOT attempt to sail between the rocks and the island!
Our usual seabreeze is from the SE to just a little west of south and we hope to set the courses just north of the inlet and as close to the ocean side porches as possible. Water depth will be 30’ to 50’. Thunderstorms typically come in from the southwest and conditions can deteriorate quickly. This creates a need for the RC to be vigilant and act early since we must sail toward the storms and sometimes into the wind to reach shelter. If given the word to return to shore, please do so immediately.

2426 History of Championship
The U.S. Youth Sailing Championship started in 1973 at the Sheridan Shore Yacht Club in Wilmette, IL. The top 150 sailors from around the country aged 19 or under (ISAF World Youth Championship age limit) were sent invitations on US Olympic Yachting Committee letterhead to attend the event in Lasers and 470s.
The U.S. Youth Championship is now the pinnacle youth racing regatta of the sum- mer season. The event has several goals: (a) to provide a challenge to young sailors to grow beyond the skill levels used to win at the local and regional level, (b) to serve as a bridge between Junior Sailing (age 17) and College Sailing, (c) to better produce US sailors capable of winning the Youth World Championships in big-fleet races; (d) to develop and identify talent for the US Olympic Sailing Team, and (e) to motivate a lifetime commitment to sailing. Youth Championship graduates have become the stalwarts of successful college sailing programs and fill out the ranks of All-Americans.
Invitations to the event are made by US Sailing’s Youth Championship Selection Committee, based on review of applicant’s entry forms. Other than the Laser, boats have changed over the years. In 2006, this prestigious championship included Club 420s, Lasers, Laser Radials and 29ers. In 2013, another championship, the U.S. Youth Multihull Championship, was incorporated into the Youth Championship. The International 420s were included and Boardsailing was also reintroduced. The Robert L. Johnstone III Trophy for the Singlehanded winner recognizes the Founder and Chairman (1973-1980) of the event and his contribution to one-design and community sailing programs. The Doublehanded trophy memorializes Manton D. Scott, a Sears Cup winner (‘69), Collegiate All-American (‘72) and inspirational leader in small boat sailing, who was electrocuted by an overhead power line when stepping the mast of his 470. This was a month prior to the 1973 event, where Scott had been scheduled as one of the Clinic instructors. The Robert and Ann Conner Trophy was donated for the winner of the Radial Division in recognition of their contributions to junior sailing.
Beginning in 1989, sportsmanship awards were given out in the name of 1973 participant and later event Chairman, David M. Perry, a well-known author of books on the racing rules, in recognition of his leadership qualities in junior and intercollegiate sailing. The W. Darline Hobock Sportsmanship prize recognizes pure sportsmanship behavior throughout the multihull fleet. For many years, the U.S. Youth Multihull Championship was organized by the Multihull Council and was initially sailed for the Hoyt-Jolley Trophy. In 2004, a new trophy was awarded in honor of Arthur J. Stevens, whose dedication to youth multihull sailing was the foundation of this championship. It became part of the Youth Champs in recognition of the importance of youth multihull sailing within US Sailing.
