Sailing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Congratulations to Isobel Payne (Year 11) who competed in the Hardy Cup.<\/p>\n

The Hardy Cup is a World Sailing International Grade 3 Youth (under 23) Match Racing Event, contested in small keelboats with a crew of five and hosted by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. \u00a0There were 10 teams including three international, and the match racing was fiercely contested across four days. \u00a0Despite being called up just five days before the event, the junior squad from the RSYS came together brilliantly to walk away with 7th<\/sup>. Isobel was in the position of \u2019trimmer\u2019, handling both the jib and the spinnaker. (Her sister Gretel (SCEGGS class of 2020) was also trimmer on a senior RSYS team). \u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a thrilling event, with a big mix of conditions – the first day was light but the next three were very windy and challenging. \u00a0After a slight catastrophe on day two with their spinnaker, the team recovered to take out another three wins in the second round. They placed 7th<\/sup> overall, \u00a0a great end to an intense regatta.<\/p>\n
