Sam Hall’s received a letter from Simon Wergan, the RYA youth racing manager, inviting him to join the GBR transition training programme. Transition training is a year long programme which aims to support the most talented junior sailors to make a successful transition into the national youth squad.

He wishes to thank everyone at Bassenthwaite who has helped, encouraged and supported him in any way, and he intends to make the most of this great opportunity.
