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.
