Panaji, Apr 26 (PTI) The Yachting Association of India and Laser Class Association of India will hold National Board Sailing Championships and Laser Coastal National Sailing Championships 2010 at Cidade de Goa Vanguinin beach tomorrow. India''s best sailors like national champion Donald Coelho, Derrick Menezes, Remy Fernandes and several other participants from the Army, Navy and other states will participate in the National Board Sailing Championships.
The championship is expected to have a close tussle between Donald, Derrick and Remy who have been national champions in board sailing during the past 15 years. The Army and Navy sailors are also expected to give the Goan competitors a tough battle.
Derrick Menezes has won the national championships for 12 years and in spite of being a veteran he still continues to be a potent threat to all the sailors. Remy Fernandes has also won national championships for 10 years and was piped at last national championships by Donald Coelho in the last race of the championships.
Remy has been training hard to get a revenge on Donald and to reclaim his crown. Donald Coelho, on the other hand, has sailed in the shadows of Derrick and Remy for the past 15 years.
However, in the last national championships in December, Donald showed his true caliber by winning the national championships for the first time. The sailors from CME and Navy are expected to give Goan sailors a run for their money.
