Close racing in the Penzance Schools' Regatta

Each Wednesday afternoon since 22nd April students from Mounts Bay and Humphry Davy schools have been learning to sail at the Penzance Sailing Club.

The club, which is also an accredited RYA training establishment, has a flotilla of 6 Pico Dinghies which are ideal for training and great fun to sail.

Under the tuition of qualified instructors many of whom are students themselves, and all of whom are members of the Sailing Club, numerous students have become proficient and confident sailors.

12 Students attended a final end of term regatta on held on Wednesday 15th July, 4 from Mounts Bay school and 8 from Sir Humphry Davy school.

In quite challenging conditions and with an awkward swell, two races were held . Commenting on the conclusion of the Schools Training programme, Sam Kent said, "this has been a highly successful, enjoyable and popular programme and has enabled over 30 local students to have fun on the water while learning to sail".
