NSW Teams Racing Secondary Schools Regatta

On Friday 15 March to Sunday 17 March our Pymble sailing team took part in the NSW Teams Racing Secondary School Regatta that was hosted at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron.

Well done to our Pymble sailors who competed in the Pittwater Regatta: Abigail McKinnon (Year 10), Charlotte Wykes (Year 12 and Sailing Captain), Daisy Stoodley-Williamson (Year 10), India Wells Lister (Year 10), Jenny Ling (Year 9), Layne Phillips (Year 10), and Simone Bennett (Year 10).

A huge thank you to our outgoing Sailing Captain, Charlotte Wykes (Year 12), for her massive contribution to the Sailing program during her time at Pymble. Charlotte has been a major asset for the program and will be sorely missed. We can’t wait to watch you change the world!

NSW Teams Racing Review – Charlotte Wykes, Sailing Captain

Last weekend our Pymble sailors sailed in the NSW Secondary Schools Championship at the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron in Kirribilli. Over three intensive days, Charlotte (Year 12), Layne Phillips (Year 10), Simone Bennett (Year 10), India Wells Lister (Year 10), Abigail McKinnon (Year 10), Daisy Stoodley-Williamson (Year 10) and Jenny Ling (Year 9), sailed together as a team of three boats against local schools including Cranbrook, Scots, Ascham and St Aloysius.  After a long and mentally demanding regatta, our Pymble sailors displayed resilience, teamwork and enthusiasm persevering throughout the three days. Unfortunately, we will not progress to Nationals in April, however, all sailors should be extremely proud of their efforts and training which was demonstrated both on and off the water. Go Pymble!
