An incredible weekend of racing in Cowes, as the GCA’s new Etchells team of Corneille, Felipe and Max, coached by Matt Reid, won the Sir Kenneth Preston Trophy. They won three of the nine races in fiercely contested racing. This was the GCA’s first win in a senior regatta, and a big event in the Etchells calendar.

“Very proud of this moment as it’s my first time helming an Etchells during a regatta against Olympic/ world champions and paid sailors!” Corneille

A massive achievement by an incredibly talented and committed new team. Very well done and a massive congratulations to Corneille, Felipe and Max.
