Congratulations to Allen Burrell who has just won a silver medal at the Finn world championships.
2nd overall in a fleet of nearly 300 boats is an amazing feat, made all the better when you add in the fact that some of the sailors he beat are ex Olympians.
Well done Al we are all so proud of you.
Regards Spratty and Tracey and all of TBYC
