Azhai Smith and Christopher Raymond, both aged 12, flew to New Zealand earlier this month with AC Endeavour Program Coordinator Leah Collis to compete in three regattas.
They claimed the lead in the Gold and Silver fleets in the first day of action, with both young Bermudians still ranked in the top spot in the second day’s results.
Azhai currently leads in the Gold Fleet with 15 net points, while Christopher Raymond leads the Silver Fleet with 12 net points.

Well done guys, so where’s all the negative comments about the Americas Cup now. If it hadn’t been for them these two amazing young men wouldn’t be in New Zealand right now.
