Mari & Sarah's Summer Campaign Yields European Bronze medals and British National title

The girls recently returned home after spending 6 weeks abroad competing in the international 420 fleet.

The first event of the summer was in Keiler Woche, Germany a massive rgatta attended by thousands with racing across numerous fleets. Stormy weather and fickle wind meant that only four races were held in two racing days. Despite this, the event gave them the opportunity to work with RYA coach Mark Rushall in preparation for the other main summer events.

After a week of tough racing in Weymouth, the news arrived that the girls had become British Champions in the 420 class and with it gained selection for the GBR team for the ISAF Youth Worlds, to be held in Portugal in June.

The week started in the best possible way with a bullet in race 1. The competition then heated up to create 2 days of tight racing.

The girls managed to hold onto the yellow leaders bibs from day one and on Wednesday were the most consistent boat out of the fleet of 44, posting three 2nd place finishes. This opened a 24 point lead over their closest rivals, which they defended through Thursdays racing.
