Sailing to Success
Sportsmanship on showBrighton Grammar proudly fielded two teams at this year’s Sailing Nationals in Goolwa, South Australia.
Our Division 1 boys battled through a tough first day to climb from 16th to finish 4th overall in the Swiss league, an incredible comeback showcasing grit and determination.
In finals, the team narrowly lost their opening heat to Cranbrook 1, rebounded with a strong win over MBC in the eliminations, and pushed Hutchins to three races in the semifinals before narrowly missing the grand final and finishing 4th overall.
Our B team also sailed strongly throughout the event and finished 19th.
This regatta also marked the final Nationals for our senior leaders: Captain Dmitry Sorokin, Vice Captain Kylan Thompson, and 1B skippers William Bennett and Oskar Meinke who have been dedicated members of the BGS Sailing Program since 2020.
We thank them for their leadership, sportsmanship, and years of service to the team.
