ILCA UK Chair blog #99

Jul 29

With lots of summer sailing and the Olympics in full swing, not to mention around 45 ILCA UK sailors at the ILCA6 Youth Europeans in Ballyholme, just a couple of reminders and snippets this week.

One item that caught my eye was 9 ILCA sailors were flag bearers at the Paris Opening ceremony (see story)

ILCA racing in Marseille starts later in week. If you are one of thousands of ILCA sailors around the country that can relate directly to their competition as you sail exactly the same boat, please support Hannah and Micky and like the post in our FB channel.
