Last week Seb Baucutt and Alex Farrall took part in the RS 800 National Championships at Eastbourne Sovereign Sailing Club.

With a consistently high set of results in three days of racing they posted 18th overall from 48 entries – winning the Silver Fleet Trophy.

Well done lads – this is an inspiration to all our cadets.

Well done to all those involved in organising and taking part in last week’s event. 141 children enjoyed the many and varied activities to full effect with the weather being brilliant all week.

A thank you to all the sponsors for their contributions who make it possible for us to offer the many and diverse activities including Adventure Island and Kids Kingdom. A special thank you to Wetsuit Outlet for the use of the paddle boards in the Stingray Group – a very useful teaching tool.

I look for ward to seeing many more of our cadets take part in club racing to further enhance their abilities.

A huge well done to all members who helped in any way.
