In a precursor to the UK Nationals & Cadet World Championships in Weymouth next month Alex Warrington & Anna Wootton (Waldringfield SC) have this afternoon won the Belgium Cadet Nationals held during the 2014 Flanders Youth Regatta.
The standard of racing was extremely high at this year’s BSDRA Thames Valley Team Racing Championships at Bray lake. There were 21 teams competing, aged between 12 and 18 in a total of 106 races on Saturday 7th June. During the first set of races the teams are seeded into four divisions, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Novices. Our young TBYC team won enough races to be placed in the Bronze division, which was an achievement in itself.
They continued to communicate and sail well as a team, and considering their overall age, their sailing was impressive, against much older sailors. They performed a number of Pass-backs, Mark traps and Pinning maneuvers and were determined right to the end. It may have been a most daunting experience at times, but they achieved a pleasing =12th place out of 21 teams. They were awarded the Best Newcomers’ Cup!
TBYC Team: Teddy Elmore and Henry Petty-Mayor, Harry Boygle and Olivier Petty-Mayor, Vicki Little and William Webster Teams: Ardingly, Bradfield, Claires Court, Clifton, Charterhouse, Eton, Haileybury, Kings, MCS Oxford, Millfield, RGS, Rugby, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club, Wellington, Winchester. Overall winners: Sevenoaks School Runners-up: Eton College.
