RYA Team 15 Championships At Rutland Water
The RYA Team15 Championships were set up by the RYA to attack a perceived weakness in the wind surfing discipline by young sailors in the UK.
The idea was/is to get more youngsters wind surfing with Team15 sailors specifically being 15 or under and accordingly strengthen the GBR Team in wind surfing when competing at international level in later years.
Bob Warren at Roseland Paddle and Sail has always supported the RYA initiative and many young wind surfers have learnt their skills on the Percuil River.
At the RYA South West Zone Championships last month this year’s crop of Team15 youngsters from the Roseland won through to the Championship finals held at Rutland Water last weekend.
Nine teams qualified from across the UK and some 100 competitors fought for the overall title on a whole range of boards and sail sizes.
The Roseland Waveriders excelled themselves by finishing 2nd overall with Jack Warren winning the 6.8m Techno Board Class overall.
Congratulations to all involved.
