After a brilliant in the 420 and the ILCA Freya is looking forward to build on some great results all over the UK and Europe. She has a busy schedule of 420 events this year and we look forward to working with her to find out what unique parts and systems she is using on his boat.
Let's find out some more info on how and where she started sailing.
I started sailing in 2017, when I was 11, because I had been sailing on holiday in Devon and I really enjoyed it. When I went to my second open day at West Oxfordshire SC, I got to sail an optimist and became a member shortly afterwards.
My first boat is myILCA 167848 which I got in 2020, he’s been to Dziwnow and Cadiz with me.
Built in 1999, I upgraded everything to the modern setup rapidly.
Named as “Boaty”because, well, he’s a boat. He just ended up being called that.
My home club ismainly Oxford Sailing Club as well as West Oxfordshire Sailing Club.
My biggest achievement so far is probably going to the ILCA 4 Youth World Championships 2023, Volos, Greece, where I was 123rd out of 150 boats overall.
It’s difficult to decide on a favourite, but. I really like the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, especially the harbour area.
I also like the Nautical Club of Volos. It has nice beach launching and when I was there was mostly light steady wind with some small chop and medium swell when it was onshore. When it was offshore it became chaotic as the land is very uneven and the shifts and gust/lull difference is huge.
My main goal is find a permanent 420 crew. Do as much of the 420 circuit as I can. Get selected for this year’s and/or next year’s 420 Internationals. Learn and progress in the 420. Have fun. Keep working hard. Do my best in every race. Make new friends. Maintain my positive mindset no matter what.
I think Lake Gada seems like a very cool place to go. I’ve heard so much about it, but I’ve never been there. I also would like to go to Rio, it looks awesome, with such beautiful scenery. It would be nice to visit the home of the 2016 Olympics.
Nearly 40 years on from my first "Laser" I have just taken delivery of my second - a Devoti Ilca 7. Buying this new ILCA has been a 5 star experience, and dealing with Andrew, Jason and Steve at Sailing Chandlery have all been great - candid advice, all the help and assistance I could have wished for. And to cap it all Steve delivered the new Devoti to my home address - 5 hours away, and up in the hills, not easy to get to - and what's more Steve then stayed to help me sort out the rigging - all very different from what I remember. When I last sailed a Laser you had to lean on the boom to put on more kicker. I'm very happy to give the team at Sailing Chandlery a fulsome recommendation.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
