Zahaan Wins O'pen Skiff U17 National Title For Fourth Consecutive Year
Skiff U17 National: Zahaan Hemrajani claimed his fourth consecutive O’pen Skiff U17 National title, delivering a commanding performance across eight races in conditions ranging from very light air to medium breeze over small and medium chop.
He won seven of eight races outright — dropping only his penalised fifth place as a discard — to finish on a nett score of 7.0 points, the cleanest series scoreline in the fleet.
The one blemish on an otherwise perfect scorecard came with a story of its own. Having come from behind in a tightly contested race to cross the finish line first in what had been a photo-finish battle, Zahaan received a penalty for contact with the committee boat mark at the line. He was scored fifth. The discard rule absorbed it. That he fought to the front in that race at all — only to lose the result on contact at the finishing mark — speaks to the competitive instinct that defined his sailing all week.
