YOBs meet the Olympic sailors
The beginning of our involvement with the Olympics allowed WSC YOBs to meet and chat to World Champion sailors from New Zealand and France after their training sessions in Weymouth Bay. YOBs were delighted to discover that Star sailors Hamish, Craig, Xavier and Pierre-Alexis all started sailing in dinghies, beginning with Optimists, with their parents or at a sailing club, and progressing from class to class as they grew up. Hard to imagine any of them in an Optimist these days, and equally hard also to imagine this scene in the Club yard a few years ago! The fun will really start when all the New Zealand team are around at once, from next week...
