More press for our students: The wildest applause of the evening, however, was reserved for the youth sailors from the Sint Maarten Yacht Clubs Youth Sailing Team, who walked off with a bundle of awards. The team was the winner of the CSA9 class, and also won the Sint Maarten Yacht Club Cup for the Most Worthy Performance on Sunday, and the St. Maarten Local Youth Challenge Cup, which was presented by Lorraine Talmi from the St. Maarten Marine Trades Association (SMMTA). This final trophy was created to award those local youngsters that are involved in sailing, to stimulate more interest in this sport from the local community. The SMMTA is involved in several initiatives, e.g. sponsoring sailing for local children and the Build your Future project, with the goal to get more local youngsters involved in the Marine Industry.
