Junior Bourne End week

The famous Bourne End Week regatta held at Upper Thames Sailing Club in Bourne End, Bucks, was this year extended for the third year running to feature a regatta for the young cadets. River sailing is proving popular among local young people who enjoy the opportunity to learn to sail and later race on this beautiful reach of the Thames between Cookham and Marlow.
 
 
Over 80 Juniors made this a record attendance with fresh breezes and warm sunshine adding to the enjoyment! A bouncy castle was supplied for those wanting to take a break from water activities. Parents also stayed on for the week, many of the visitors camping in the neighbouring field. This made it easy for the 88 youngsters, ranging in age from 3 to 16, to participate in the games and races organised by Adrian Hart and Alan Markham, Rear Commodore of UTSC.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The 3 race Series was won by Alex Hobern sailing a Firefly, followed by Becky Collen in a Topper and James Hobern in a Laser Pico.
 
 
 
Sponsors of the Junior event were:Laser, the sailing dinghy manufacturer, who loaned the club a number of dinghies (6 Picos and a Bug); Yorkville Advisors who provided T-shirts; Silverbird Travel who paid for the bouncy castle; Lafarge, Purple Marine and Craftinsure.
 
 
 
 
Commodore of UTSC, Roy Burnham, commented: " the success of this junior event clearly shows the fun that young people can have on our lovely stretch of the Thames. Sailing is a sport which can be enjoyed by people of any age, so by starting young they will have the ability to sail for the rest of their lives and maybe represent the Great Britain team at future Olympic Games.”
2010 Junior Bourne End week is from 03-05 June.
