Jonas said, “Competing at my first-ever international competition, the iQFOiL Youth and Junior World Championships, was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed racing against so many sailors from different countries and seeing how they sail. It was great to meet new people from all over the world, make new friends, and learn from other competitors. The event gave me a lot of experience and helped me improve both on and off the water. I can’t wait to compete at more international events in the future.”

Event highlights included Jonas qualifying for the Gold Fleet and Darcy claiming his first international race win.
