Year 9 sailors, Dan Patten and Arthur Brown took part in the Youth National Championships at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy over the Easter break.

Patten and Brown

This major regatta attracts the very best UK youth sailors and the Royal Hospital School duo competed again 64 teams in the highly competitive 29er class. At just 13 years old, they were by far the youngest competitors racing against experienced teams up to 18 years of age.

The racing was held out at sea in the same waters as the 2012 Olympics. There were 4 races each day for the first 2 days then the fleet was split into Gold and Silver fleets based on results from the 2 days. Both Gold and Silver fleets then sailed a further 4 races per day over the following 3 days. The week presented mixed sailing conditions from light shifting winds to very windy conditions with very large and challenging waves. Dan and Arthur had to really dig deep and showed true grit and determination as the week progressed. They far exceeded their own goals and expectations by qualifying and being placed in the Gold fleet and, once there, they proved to themselves, and the other competitors, that they were a force to be reckoned with. The boys sailed with tenacity, determination and style, never wavering to the physical and mental strain of the competition or sailing conditions. Their best results consisted of a 2nd, 11th, 13th and 16th and they finished 29th overall.

HRH Princess Anne, who takes a keen interest in sailing, showed her support at the event.

On Saturday 28 September team sailors from the Royal Hospital School travelled to Westbere Lake, near Canterbury, to take part in the BSDRA East Kent Autumn Team Racing. They sailed confidently in Fireflies and 420s against top sailing schools; Sevenoaks, The King’s School Canterbury, Ardingly and Millfield, in gusty conditions.

RHS finished Round 1 with 5 wins and had taken the lead, closely followed by King’s on 4 wins. In Round 2, RHS were caught up by the home team leaving King’s and RHS with 9 wins a piece. The final result was decided through tie-breaker races: the RHS team showed impressive racing skills and became worthy winners of the 2013 King’s Challenge Cup.

On Saturday 21 September, the Royal Hospital School held a Sailing and Raft-Building taster day for prospective pupils, at neighbouring Alton Water Reservoir.

The more experienced sailors went out in Toppers and RS Teras under the expert guidance of Director of Sailing, Andy Nutton. Enjoying a gentle breeze, they were taken through skills training and top tips, as well as some competitive racing. Those who were less confident, or who were trying sailing for the first time, took to the water in groups, each with their own instructor giving them a chance to try out both helming and crewing.After a morning of experiencing what it is like to be a sailor at the Royal Hospital School and a delicious barbecue lunch on the shore, the 10 and 11 year olds took part in a raft building competition. It was a battle of the sexes and clear from the start, that the girls had far superior knot tying skills than the boys! Unfortunately for the boys their raft barely survived being carried to the water’s edge while the girls’ held fast and they won the race.

The fun continued as everyone jumped off the jetty into the water to finish off a highly enjoyable day!
