Douglas Elmes and Colin O’Sullivan have won the ISA Youth Sailors of the Year for 2015 at the ISA Award ceremony yesterday – 4th February.
This is great recognition for the huge achievements of this crew during 2015 at the ISAFs, Kiel Week, Worlds and Junior Europeans together with the excellent results secured both at home in the UK.
There were 6 nominees for the award – Geoff Power (now sailing a 420 with James McCann), Douglas and Colin, Aoife Hopkins, Aisling Keller and Ewan McMahon.
Well done to all the sailors who were short listed and to the award recipients – a great start for the 420 class for 2016.
