The Andoo Team Australia youth crew have smashed out a convincing win today in race 7 of 8, to secure their spot in the UniCredit Youth America’s Cup semi-final 24 September in Barcelona.
The Andoo Australia youth squad, led by Skipper Cole Tapper, with co-helm Jack Ferguson and trimmers Max Paul and Tom Needham relished the return of winds in Barcelona to show their talent in the Group B field of 6 invited nations. Only the top three go through to the semi-final with Artemis Racing Sweden and Barcelona Spain securing the other two spots.
Andoo Team Australia stayed true to form, with a near perfect start in race seven of their series. The Aussies led from start to finish, executing the race cleanly and extending their lead on every leg.
Race eight saw Andoo Team Australia starting at the “boat” end of the start line for the first time, next to Group B leader Artemis Swedish Racing.
