Congratulations to Niamh Henry who finished 2nd girl and 14th overall in the junior fleet at the British Optimist Nationals.
The 50th Volvo Gill Optimist National and Open Championship came to a close on Friday, 5th August in Pwllheli Sailing Club after a week of fantastic sailing in a mixture of racing conditions. The week started light with no wind for the 450 sailors but increased as the week progressed. Racing finished with sunny but challenging conditions and 30-40 degree shifts.
Newly appointed IOCA (UK) Chairman, Simon Rogers paid tribute to a wonderful week of fun yet competitive racing “It’s been an incredible week with some absolutely fantastic sailing here at the 50th anniversary of the National Championships. We are delighted with the racing we have had all week and the conditions have been perfect".
