Mari and Sarah on the top of GBR Ranking list

The 420 ranking series arrived at Hayling Island last weekend for the Spring Championships. 44 boats took to the water, including 4 Irish visiting crews. The Pwllheli Sailing Club girls (Mari Davies & Sarah Norbury) managed to repeat their paerformance from the previous qualifier in Pwllheli by again finishing as leading ladies in 3rd place overall, only 1 point behind the 2nd placed boys.

After the first two qualifiers the girls top the GBR ranking list with a total of 37 points. Their nearest rivals have 90 points- quite a lead going into the final qualifier which will be the RYA Youth Championships in Weymouth next month.

The RYA Youths bring together the best young sailors in all the youth classes to compete for class European and World Championship places as well as the coveted one place available to GBR in each class at the ISAF Youth Worlds - the event which is seen as the pinacle for international youth sailors.

The girls have a new Twitter account - @420Norb_Dav. Follow them to keep up to date with their progress!
