Story

Hello, Everyone!

This September 12th & 13th, from midday to midday, I'm participating in the West Lancs Yacht Club 24HR DINGHY SAILING RACE, on Southport Marine Lake, as a member of the RYA’s Futures Lab! We’ll be among over 850 sailors and 60 teams, being supported by 200+ volunteers, in the biggest dinghy sailing event in the UK!

In the event’s 55th year, I’ll be manning our GP14 from 8-10pm (The Dog Watch Trophy), and then again from 6-8am, watching the sunrise!

Our team of 16-25 year olds will be racing against everyone from universities to Olympic sailors and competing for a chance of winning any of the 30+ prizes. We will also be helping on the First Aid stands!

Sailing is so much more than just sport or recreation; it offers a wealth of neurosomatic and environmental benefits too! I’m super grateful to you for taking the time to visit my page and hope you feel inspired to support us!

Fair winds and bright torches!

Silas
