SAILING SUCCESS

Published by The Gregg School on Friday 13th of June 2025

Harry O’C and Henry R took part in the RS Feva 2025 Nationals over half term. The National competition was held in Edinburgh over a series of days and featured around 100 of the best sailors in the UK competing for a podium position. The sailing conditions were challenging out at sea with high winds, with one day cancelled due to extreme weather gusting up to 50 knots and 1.5m waves! Harry and his sailing partner, Cassius, sailed well alongside a cohort of skilled and experienced sailors, and came third in the Gold Fleet, narrowly missing out on first place by an OCS (when the boat crosses the start line too early). Henry (and his crew) came first in the Silver Fleet and second in his age category; a fantastic showing considering it was their first national event. Well done to Harry and Henry!
