FOUR cadets from Blackwater Sailing Club (BSC) represented the club at the RYA Eric Twiname Junior Championships.
The championships were held during the early May Bank Holiday weekend at Rutland Water Sailing Club.
Jonny Garlick, cadet skipper at BSC, said: "We are incredibly proud of all four sailors for representing the club with such skill, determination and sportsmanship at one of the UK’s premier junior sailing events."
Established in 1980, the Eric Twiname Trust continues to play a vital role in supporting junior sailing and funds a wide range of events that help develop young sailors both on and off the water.
Almost 300 of the country's most promising young sailors took part in this year's championship.
BSC was represented by Matthew Marshall and Leonie Fairhead in the Optimist fleet, Amelie Fairhead in the RS Feva, and Callum Marshall in the highly competitive ILCA 4 class.
All four sailors delivered strong performances against national competition.
Jonny said: "Their performances are testament to the hard work they put in throughout the season and also to the enthusiasm within our cadet section.
"Congratulations to the East Region too on winning both Championship Trophies."
Callum Marshall delivered a standout performance.
He sailed consistently throughout the 10-race series to win the ILCA 4 event outright.
Callum led from day one and finished in the top three in every race, including five wins.
BSC’s results also contributed to the East Region securing both the Eric Twiname Regional Dinghy Trophy and the overall Eric Twiname Championship Trophy.
