RYA National Junior Squad 2007/8

Congratulations to the following sailors who have been offered places in the RYA National Squad. They have a difficult act to follow but having watched them sail all summer I know they can do it. Every year I say the standard of applicants improves and every year it does. This year the numbers of applicants also went up from 75 to 103! The Topper class can be hugely proud of the sailors it is producing at all levels.
