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.
I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
Product exactly what I wanted
