Feva Team Racing day at Felpham Sailing Club

On the 29th July 2014 Felpham hosted the Team Feva race day organised by West Sussex Schools. This was a great day organised and run by Nic Rushbridge from Arun Yacht club and a big thanks goes to him.

After a briefing about Team racing three teams from Felpham and one from Arun set about a highly competitive day of racing in teams of three boats. The conditions were great and the Cadets managed to get 18 races in during the day, quite some feet of organisation. The youngsters were encouraged rather than just sailing for themselves to look after each other and sail as a team, something that is unusual in dingy racing.

There were some very tight races and the Felpham team consisted of a mix of less experienced sailors and our best performance squad sailors. These better sailors had the task of seeing their team across the finish line and not just winning themselves. It was great to see the likes of Sophie and Sian, Jack and Lauren and Jake and Calum having to sail back and help their team mates out.

The event was very close but yet again Felpham showed their quality with the Pink team winning the day. This was the team of Jack, Lauren, Roshana, Chloe, Tom and Bradley.

The photograph below shows all the competitors in the event.

Well dome Team Fepham.
