A lot of you will know Anna and Rosie Watkins, two Mirror Class junior sailors, who have regularly participated at National and European level in their Mirrors, with their sisters Harriet and Midge. This week they have teamed up themselves and taken a 420 across to Cherbourg to take part in the French 420 Nationals. This is an excellent chance for them to build experience in the 420 arena and prepare them for competitions next year, when they will be campaigning their 420, in between more Mirror sailing.
Rosie was also busy at the end of June in the Itchenor Schools Regatta in her 420 where, with ex- Mirror sailor and fellow Poole YC member Evie Clemence, they won the event taking the Sir Richard Fairey Trophy for the 420 fleet, and were overall ladies winners in the Class.
