Adrian Short, defending champion from 2009, and William Tiller, currently at the top of the Warren Jones Regatta in WA, both from the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, head the list of competitors at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron's Hardy Cup youth match racing event, starting Sunday. Josh Junior, from Wellington, also won the Musto International Youth Match Racing Championships run by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia on Sydney Harbour last November.
