Sprint 15 Mainsail raffle winner

Roger Ackroyd of Whitham Sailing Club won a new mainsail for his Sprint 15 at the Sprint 15 National Championships in Brightlingsea Sailing Club. The sail was donated by Windsport Catparts to promote Sprint 15 sailing. The class give each entrant a raffle ticket for each Sprint 15 open meeting they attend throughout the year and the prize is drawn from the hat at the Nationals. This year there were 356 raffle tickets in the draw and Roger's ticket was pulled out of the hat by Brian Phipps of Windsport. Last year there were 253 raffle tickets given out and it shows how much Sprint 15 sailing has increased over just a year. Roger bought his Sprint 15 quite recently and is a new member of the fleet.

The sail was presented to Roger by Brian Phipps.
