Congratulations to William Pank (L5P) who this week was awarded the prestigious RYA Eastern Youth Champion award. He was presented with the trophy at a ceremony at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace by Paralympic sailing gold medallist Helena Lucas.

As part of a hugely successful 2016 William travelled with the Norwich School team to Santander for the Feva World Championships, taking both the open and junior trophies. He is currently in the National Optimist Squad and focussed on trying to represent Britain at the Optimist Worlds, to be held in Thailand, whilst preparing to defend his Feva World title in Holland.
