The Danish J/70 Sailing League created their Youth League two years ago, and it continues to grow in popularity with young kids at sailing clubs across Denmark. Most recently, they enjoyed great sailing with racing managed by the Skovshoved Sailing Club. This year, it was the YOUNGSTER II team who won the event at Skovshoved—the second time they have done so. The team consists of brothers Jeppe & Nikolaj Borch, Amanda Ulmdal, Mathias Rossing and Nikolaj Rasmussen. The second place SUNDBY MARLINS, consisting of Josefine Boel Rasmussen, Kristian Schaldemose, Søren Andersen and Marc Wain, beat their previous best position in the Youth League. With only one point separating the other teams on the podium, the game was a tough battle through the final race. The BANDHOLM WHITETAILED EAGLES team, that included skipper Bo Schulein, Ole Lindberg, Christian Torp and Peter Ammundsen, ended up landing on the podium at the last minute. The balance of the top five included the DTU SAIL RACING TEAM in fourth place and the THURO PIRATES in fifth. For more Danish J/70 Sailing League information, visit http://sejlsportsligaen.dk/.
