GBR Worlds Sailing Team for Pippa
22 May 2024 - All
Exciting news for Pippa (UIV) as she has been selected for the GBR Worlds Team after taking part in trials at the National Sailing Academy.
In a series of ten races, Pippa managed three firsts (or bullets) and came 3rd and 1st girl overall; the top five were selected. Pippa has lots of training ahead of her and will compete in the Worlds event in December. As only five boats are selected, getting into the Worlds Team is a massive achievement for Pippa at her level.
Huge congratulations to Pippa and good luck in the races in December.
