FANTASTIC NEWS! BYC won an Ovington ILCA 7 at the recent ILCA UK Open & National Championships held at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy!

In an incredible stroke of good fortune BYC won the draw for the ILCA 7, donated by Ovington Boats 'as their way of supporting the ILCA racing community'.

The prize was presented to the BYC sailors competing at the event (left to right Dan McCaughey, Iseult Spiers, Cormac Byrne) by Olympic GBR Sailor, Micky Beckett (2nd from right) along with John McAfee, Export Sales Manager from Ovington Boats (right).

This boat was kindly delivered from WPNSA to BYC by Kieran Byrne earlier this week.

This ILCA 7 will be used to support and build the Class at our Club and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Ovington Boats for their generous and kind support.
