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.
fast delivery with no problems
Ordered Zhik boots and wetsuit easily enough on-line, quick email response reviewing order, and they were despatched same day. Wetsuit is awesome, I wrongly ordered the boots size, a quick phone call, they explained what I needed to do, and they’ve changed them super quick. Didn’t miss any days sailing……..Highly recommend.
Got a set for my son who's 6' 3" and 92KG and L was way too small. Spoke to someone on the phone who was very helpful on sizing. Actually, went for a XXL in the end and he is happy with that fit so I would say these come up a bit small compared to other manufacturers although I guess you want a tight a fit as possible with hikers.
Vert happy with the service and advice. Video was helpful too.
Good quality product that was delivered very quickly
Got this top as I was looking for something which could keep me dry and warm at the same time in the best effective way possible, allowing me to have freedom of movement. All came to this top and it was definitely the right choice.
Well manufactured. Good quality product. The neoprene waist band makes sure you will be comfortable and as it stays adjusted all the time. Same thing goes to the wrist area.
Overall it is a really good product, best quality vs price I found and not disappointed.
Very speedy delivery and looks great on the Laser
Replaced easily enough. Same dimensions as the original on the boat. Works perfectly and keeps everything neat now.
I had given up all hope
Ordered gloves one evening and dispatched the following day
Very quick and efficient
Will definitely use again
Significantly cheaper than a class official sail but also much more longwearing so win / win!! Only slight criticism is that on the latest sail, the furling direction to get the velcro tape to hold the sail rolled is opposite to the marked direction on a Pico lower mast....
apart from that - strongly recommended
I was very pleased to find this top in stock here. Rooster had sold out. But Sailing Chandlery still had stock. Arrived promptly.
Nice feel and robust rope with little stretch and easily cleats. Remarkable quality at price.
Easy to order, quick delivery good products
Nice and good quality wetsuit
Excellent customer service. The size I first ordered was too small and the team at Sailing Chandlery could not have been more helpful, quick to respond, and professional.
brilliant I have had this jacket before and know it's waterproof and excellent designed well worth the money. Recommend the jacket to any
