Young sailors from Waldringfield Sailing Club have qualified to represent team GB at the Cadet World Championships.
Fourteen members of the club will be heading to Melbourne this winter to compete following a selector series consisting of 16 races in Weymouth, Pevensey and Grafham.
The Waldringfield cadet sailors who will taking the trip are: Toby Bush and Kemmel Thorogood, Edward Fletcher and Alex Enkel, Hamish Collingridge and Rhona Enkel, Amelia Mayhew and Hettie Thorogood, Robert Stewart and Dylan McArdle. Sailing in the promotional fleet are Gwen Thorogood and Oscar Bush.
Amelia said: “When I first stepped into a cadet at the age of seven, I never imagined I would be going to Australia to compete in the world championship with my fantastic crew, Hettie.
"This really is the fulfilment of a dream I had when I started sailing."
Toby said: “I feel privileged to have spent so much time in cadets watching great sailors, who I look up to, compete and qualify to represent their country at international events.
