‘’But that was the first time we’d sailed together in the RS.’’ So, winning was ‘’very surprising”. Jack has been sailing at the New Plymouth Yacht Club for about four years and loves it because he likes ‘’being on the ocean and how it’s really competitive”. He has also entered two international competitions, one three or four years ago in China and more recently with the New Zealand Development under 14 team in New Caledonia.
