Sailing takes pupils to Denmark

Posted: 13th September 2024

Jack (L6), Polly (U5) and Kirsty (U6) all competed in the 29er Typhoon UK National Championships at Royal Lymington Yacht Club in August, where Jack was placed 3rd Junior along with his helm Merryn. Jack also competed at the 29er Worlds in Denmark earlier in the month. 

Amelie (M5), Tom (4F) and Sebastian (4F) all sailed in the Dartmouth Regatta Rockfish Dinghy Series, coming home with silverware galore!  After three days of racing, Amelie won the Topper Fleet, Tom won the Tera Fleet, and following an incredibly close race, Sebastian was only 0.5 of a point off the podium in the Tera fleet.  Great fun was had by all.

Over the summer Tom (Fourth Form) competed at the RS Tera World Championships in Denmark (20th overall), where there were sailors from 8 countries, as far away as the USA; and at the National Championships at Thorpe Bay in Essex (11th overall).  Will (L5) also competed at the RS Tera National Championships, as well as the RS Feva World Championships in the Netherlands. There were between 60 & 180 boats at each event, and Tom and Will both had a lot of fun.
