Area Sailing Success
Fishguard Sea Cadets took part in the South West Area Sailing Competition in Portsmouth over the weekend of 14th-16th of July.
We entered the RS Quest Class (Cdt 1st Finn and Freya), who went on to win all their races and picked up Gold Medal and also we entered the Pico Class (OC Evie), who also won all her races and picked up Gold Medal. This is our best results at an Area Sailing Competition for a considerable amount of years, and is a fantastic achievement. All 3 cadets now go forward to the National Sailing Event on the Merseyside at the end of September. This will be the units biggest entry at a National Sailing Event. We are really pleased at the progress shown in both Classes, and the progress we are making in Sailing generally.
