Skandia Sail for Gold

North Sails UK - Judith Wilkinson

Awesome results for North clients!

The Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta 2012 took place last week at the London Olympic Sailing venue, the Weymouth & Portand Sailing Academy.

The breeze and the competition were up for this week long regatta. Challenging weather conditions had dominated the week and going into the medal races with ten classes and thirty medals to decide, not one of them was a certainty.

 
 
 
 

North sails powered boats however once again dominated the final podium places - as can be seen from the results below.
