Very pleased to announce that a few weeks ago I finished up 5th overall at the ILCA 7 Senior European Championship, held in Hyeres, France, from the 14th-21st November 2022.

We had a very tricky week of up and down conditions but after a difficult day one I really knuckled down and got on with it in my trusty Ovington. This was my reward:

This result is a great way to finish the season and sign off on a breakthrough year for me. 11th at worlds and 5th at euros was just a dream at the start of 2022. Now it’s reality.
Thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it. Now onto 2023...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Cheers,

Sam
