A goodly contingent of 8 boats from Derwent Reservoir and a lone adventurer from Scotland travelled to Bass SC to take part in the annual team racing event on the weekend of 20th October. Together the nine visiting boats provided three teams set to challenge the two teams from the home club.
Ethan Dawson has just been selected as one of 13 sailors for the RYA’s West Zone Squad. The squad will receive six weekends of training throughout Winter by head coach Neil Marsden.
