We caught up with Nick post event.

"After a very tricky first day of racing we lay in 21st overall. The second day was much better with us posting a 6, 1, 6. Final series was upon us and the wind blew from the SW making some big waves. Some silly errors at leeward marks cost us a consistent day posting 13, 21, 14, 21. The penultimate day of racing saw light and shifty winds from the NW and with boats going from bottom 5 to top 10 in a downwind, you were never out of the race. Another up and down day saw us hold onto 15th place heading into the final day of racing where we looked to move up a few places. Unfortunately a bad start to race 1 saw us last around the windward mark. A strong downwind saw us move into the top 15 and that's roughly where we stayed. The final two races were also shifty and tidal, not allowing us to improve on our overnight position. This result qualified us for summer British Youth Sailing Team and we look forward to improving our results at the Nationals and Euros in France."

Nicks report shows you should never give up. Nick and Sarah were wearing a range of Racewear items.
