14 youngsters from across the UK have been given a huge boost in their sailing and windsurfing ambitions by being awarded their own boats and boards donated by the John Merricks Sailing Trust.
Launched in 2013, the partnership through RYA OnBoard supports youngsters who display enthusiasm, drive, talent and commitment to the sport and who may not ordinarily have the opportunity or financial backing to achieve their goals.
The young sailors and windsurfers were selected from over 50 nominations.
