LBYC JUNIOR SAILORS INFORMATION
M15 Youth Team Challenge
Thirty young sailors ranging form 10 - 17 years old converged on Long Beach Yacht Club for the inaugural M15 Youth Team Challenge November 8 - 9, 2026. Teams crossed yacht club lines, drawing sailors from New Orleans to Fort Walton Beach. The shifty, puffy 8 - 10 knot northerly Saturday gave way to the sea breeze overcoming the northerly on Sunday. Winners Team Rockin’ FWYC reeled in 4 firsts out of 7 races for 12 points. Team PCYC White, with crew from New Orleans to Long Beach, was right on their heels with 15 point in second. Fairhope’s Team Monkey Business won the tie breaker and third place overall the Combo Kids of Gulfport. Rounding out the field was Team Bay-gulls from the Fairhope area. Stay tuned for news about the 2027 edition of M15!
