 Rutland Sailing Club’s youth group continued their outstanding winning run this week by triumphing in the British Schools Team Racing Championships.

The Rutland team took on the sailors from across the country to become the first UK Club team to win this prestigious trophy.

The event held at Bough Beech Sailing Club, hosted by Sevenoaks School, had 20 of the country’s best youth teams taking part.

The winning team was Ben Tylecote (Harington School), Georgiana Caldecott (Leicester Grammar), Jamie Tylecote (Catmose College), Freya Pembery (Bourne Grammar), Solomon WIlby (Uppingham Community College) and Terry Hacker (Long Road Sixth Form College).

A second Rutland team made up of sailors from Stamford School demonstrated the depth at Rutland by also winning all the races they sailed in the first round.

Rutland Sailing Club now has three national team racing titles, a remarkable achievement as it puts itself very much at the heart of team racing in the country.
