In recent news,
Our own Lucy Loughton travelled to Sydney, Australia to compete in the B14 Sailing World Championships over the Christmas Holidays, with her partner Chris Bateman. Representing Ireland, they become the first ever mixed crew and the first ever non GBR or AUS boat to win this prestigious title.
With tight competition and a lot at stake, they powered through to take the win in what turned out to be a blustery championships, winning six out of nine races on Sydney harbour. GBR team sailors and multiple world title winners Nick Craig and his crew Toby Lewis finished second. The pair went in as favourites, only to be beaten by the wild card team of Bateman and Loughton.
In good measure, Lucy also became the first ever female crew to stand on the top step of the podium of the World Championships.
Their campaign now continues, having completed the first big event of the sailing season.
