Reflecting on her week, Wilson said the regatta had focussed her mind on areas to improve heading into Tokyo 2020, now just three months away.
“I just made too many mistakes this week and the level is so high you can’t afford to make many mistakes. It’s good to see where I’m at now though and I am looking forward to see what I can do in the next three months leading up to Tokyo.”
Squires added, “I’ve been dedicated to putting 100 per cent into this Tokyo Olympics and although this last year has been challenging, to be able to train and race has helped me refine what I need to do to get a medal.”
Both Squires and Wilson will now return to the UK and train from the British Sailing Team’s performance base at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy before heading to Tokyo in June.
Men’s U21 title went to, Nacho Baltasar Summers of Spain.
