A TOP UK coach praised the talent of Sarnian sailors as Allister Cleal came out on top of the Mercator GYC Frostbite Series.

As a part of the GYC Junior Laser squad weekend training programme led by professional coach Marcus Lynch, some members joined this race for the first time, increasing the total fleet to 23 boats.

RYA Volvo National Youth and Junior team coach Lynch said he was impressed with the Guernsey sailors' commitment and dedication to the sport and the race was good practice.

'There is huge potential here in Guernsey with the junior sailors. Living on an island provides challenging conditions, but by mastering these variable waters it puts them in good stead for the UK competitions,' he said.
