The crème de la crème – 420 sailors – are off to Plymouth

for the BUCS/BUSA Student Fleet Racing Championships

We have found no less than 35 of our guys – several from within living memory! click above – who will be racing (etc.) out of Mount Batten, Plymouth this weekend, aiming to win essential “BUCS points” for their University Sailing Clubs/Athletics Unions and variously sailing in the Handicap, RS Handicap and Firefly, as well as Laser, fleets.

We have to especially mention Nia Jones, with our veteran, Sophie Knight, representing Exeter and, another faithful, golden oldie, James Thomas of Brunel who will actually be sailing their 420s!! (btw thanks, as always, to Emyr from the Tongwynlais/Cardiff Bay support team for answering the summons!).
