Ethan McCormac (Yr 11) and Tom Coulter (Yr 10) offered place on the RYA NI Laser Sailing Youth Performance Programme

Congratulations to Tom Coulter, Year 10 and Ethan McCormac (Yr 11) who have just been offered a place on the RYA NI Laser Sailing Youth Performance Programme 2019/2020 following fiercely competitive selection trials.

Having been selected for this elite programme, Tom and Ethan will now embark on an intensive over- winter training programme with a view to representing NI at National and International Youth Sailing Championships in the Laser Radial category.

This exciting news comes only a few months after Tom was placed 25th and Ethan was placed 2nd in the 2019 International Topper Class Sailing World Championships on the 21st – 26th July in Medemblik, Netherlands.

As a school we would like to wish Tom and Ethan the very best with all that lies ahead in the coming months.
