Sophie Raven and Emelie Beard represented Exmouth Community College in 7 races which took place in difficult conditions – ranging from rather strong winds to practically no wind. It tested our sailors greatly. Coming out with a great result of 33^rd overall (out of 93). Going up against people from National Squads and schools with curriculum sailing, this is an amazing result from our phenomenal sailors.

On June 30^th, there was a practice race to familiarise the competitors with the surroundings and to coach the lower 20% of the fleet, which did not include our sailors who came 14^th

In the other 6 races they were incredibly consistent with results ranging in the 20’s.

Sophie and Emelie believe "that as we live in a seaside town, that there should be more sailors taking part in events and representing the school.  As a community we should be more encouraging of sailing. Exe Sailing Club is a local place to get involved in sailing as this is would be a wonderful opportunity for the students of Exmouth Community College. With such a beautiful setting it really is a good, affordable sport that we should be taking advantage of."
