Alice Davis Reports on Her Sailing Year

Alice Davis is a new sponsored sailor for 2019 and she has hit the ground running. Read about her sailing adventures in 2019 and about how she met all of her goals.

This Year in the RS Tera and Feva

This year was one of the best sailing years ever. I have had so much fun seeing all my friends over the summer and accomplishing all of my goals for the RS Tera and the RS Feva. I managed to win all of the Tera events this year (start of seasons, Inlands, Worlds and Nationals) and do well in the Feva GPs and main events as well. We are now the Ladies National and World Champions and came 5th at Nationals and 3rd at the Worlds.

I have loved going to all the places I have been to this year the best one definitely being the Feva worlds in Italy 🇮🇹. My goal this year was to try and win the Tera events, which I did, and come top 5 in the Feva events. I achieved both of these goals.

Next Step 420

I am now moving on into the 420 with a new crew Ellie Rush. The 420 is a very fun boat and very splashy 💦⛵️. This half term I did a 4 day training camp in the 420 during which we improved on a lot of manoeuvres and speed. It feels a bit strange learning all the basics of a boat again but it’s also very interesting and we hope to improve rapidly over this season with our aim of being selected for the worlds and Europeans in 2020.

The Endeavour

This year I was also fortunate enough to be invited to the endeavour held in Burnham at the royal Corinthian Yacht Club. This was an amazing experience racing against some of the best sailors in Britain and I would love to get the opportunity to go again.

I appreciate the support from Sailing Chandlery throughout this year and I hope you will continue to follow my progress in the coming year.

Perfect sailing gloves, and brilliant value

I bought these for my son who is sailing a lot at the weekends with his Sea Cadets Unit. Before he got these gloves his hands were getting very red and sore. He loves his new gloves, not only do they protect his hands from sores, but they have excellent grip and make handling the boat much easier for him.

Zhik 360 sailing boots

These are rugged boots that last much longer than those from other manufacturers and are well worth the additional cost. Sailing Chandlery’s service was excellent - as usual!

Prompt delivery good price.

Bought to replace Rooster and looks like the edges might not fray as quickly. Grip level is good yet to check how it feels barefooted

Life saving service

Great speedy service for this top of the range ZHIK PFD, meant that I could go sailing the upcoming weekend. Sailing was a joy and noticeable how good the PFD was, looking forward to using in more throughout the winter.

Not an easy fit for Bramber trolleys

Didn't fit my Bramber laser trolley without removing the internal bush shoulders and still no room for the nylon washers. also the Lynch pain didn't fit either.
