National Sailing Regatta

15th October 2011

Ordinary Cadet Staples-Jones, along with cadets from 5 other units, attended the National Sailing Regatta at Southport on 15th October representing the North West Area.  There were a total of 20 individual medals awarded to the cadets.  Only 3 points separated 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and the North West came 3rd.  This is a very good result.  O/C Staples-Jones came 1st in the PY competition BZ.

Well done to all those who attended.
