Young Jess from Rugby is sailing to success

A chance meeting with the British Olympic sailing team when she was six sparked a love for sailing which has seen young Rugbeian Jess Powell win rafts of awards. At eight years old Jess passed her preliminary qualifications and joined Draycote Water Sailing Club. She then completed her advanced training a year later and her competition-winning skills have seen her pass selection for the British Youth Sailing Squad Regional Training Group – the first step on the path to becoming an Olympic sailor. Parents Donna and Mike said they extremely proud of Jess’s determination. Lockdown has not stopped Jess, she has been working on her fitness and honing her skills at home. The family said they would like to give their thanks to the Draycote sailing club for their support.

Norfolk Club Receives Prestigious Broads Award

Horning Sailing Club, an RYA Training Centre, OnBoard and Sailability Club based on the Norfolk Broads, was recently awarded the Martin Broom Memorial Trophy for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Broads Boating’ by the Norfolk and Suffolk Boating Association (NSBA). Given the current circumstances, the presentation has been unable to take place in person, but instead took place virtually at the NSBA’s AGM last month. NSBA Chairman Ben Falat outlined the Club’s achievements, including their efforts in organising the Three Rivers Race for sixty years, and the popular RYA Training Centre which has not only brought hundreds of young people and adults onto the water, but also sees as many as thirty volunteer instructors out on the water at any one time. Club Commodore Holly Hancock said: “We are thrilled to accept this award on behalf of the members of Horning Sailing Club. Horning is entirely volunteer run, and it’s thanks to the fantastic efforts of these volunteers that the Club’s activities take place – from training children and adults to the Three Rivers Race, being part of the Horning Boat Show to racing. Nothing would be possible without the dedication and hard work of the Club’s volunteers, and we are so pleased that their contributions have been valued in this way. Like many other clubs, we’ve had a really tough year – so this is an incredibly welcome boost to morale. The Club is looking forward to continuing an exciting year, by exhibiting at the very first virtual RYA Dinghy Show later this month (on 27/28 February) and celebrating the 60th Three Rivers Race later in the season.” The Martin Broom Memorial Trophy has been awarded annually since 2014, established to honour the memory of Martin Broom MBE, a familiar name both locally and further afield – as someone who made a lasting contribution to all aspects of boating on the Broads. Previous winners include the Nancy Oldfield Trust, Broadsbeat, and Waveney Sailability. The trophy presentation will take place once it is permitted to do so.

British Youth Sailing Recognition for Royal Harwich Yacht Club

Royal Harwich Yacht Club, based at Woolverstone, on the banks of the River Orwell in Suffolk, is the latest East Region Club to achieve British Youth Sailing recognition for their youth activities. The British Youth Sailing (BYS) Recognised Club Programme helps clubs to develop the sailing and racing skills of junior sailors, and encourages young sailors at grassroots level to stay in the sport. Royal Harwich Yacht Club has long had a significant emphasis on Junior Sailing and Junior Race Week, and despite the challenges of 2020 this was able to take place last year. They are looking forward to getting back on the water in 2021 once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. Stephen Olle, Rear Commodore Sailing at RHYC said: “This is excellent news that RHYC is now a British Youth Sailing Recognised Club. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in achieving this success. This recognition will further enhance our junior training programmes and events like our very successful Junior Race week which will be held on the 23rd August this year. We are planning many more events to support further growth of our Junior and Youth racing and race training programmes.” RYA Youth Racing Manager, Mark Nicholls, said: “The key challenge for our sport is to encourage more young people to start participating in sailing and progress into racing. This is best done at club level and a successful junior and youth training and racing programme will enable a club to flourish. The BYS Recognised Club status distinguishes those sailing clubs with a commitment to the development of junior and youth racing and race training, which is delivered in a safe and fun environment.” If you’d like to find out more about how to get out on the water and start your sailing adventure visit http://www.rya.org.uk/go/startboating or to find out more about Royal Harwich Yacht Club visit https://www.royalharwichyachtclub.co.uk
