Bolton Sailing Club

The Bolton Juniors took fourth place at Southport on Saturday in what turned out to be an excellent days sailing with a pretty decent wind direction and and the rain holding off.

This year, the team consisted of Ruth Shevelan, Tom Robinson, Alex Pilkington, Nathan Waring and Rachel Moodie. As well as 4th overall, the tream picked up a few other trophies, including 1st under 18 team and also Ruth picked up the trophy for winning the ladies race!

Well done those who took part and big thanks to Dennis for lending the team ‘Doctors Orders’.

A team will be representing Bolton Sailing Club at the annual Junior 12 Hour Race on Saturday. If you fancy a trip out to support the team feel free to pop along and find us. The race starts at 8am. It’s only a short walk from the marine lake to Southport town centre too so if Saturday is the day you get dragged round the shops by your other half why not let them loose with the credit card and you can watch some sailing!
