Shortly behind in fourth place and also first female was Annabelle Vines and Amelie Hiscocks. Their success was a testament to the power of dedication, hard work, and a shared love for sailing. Congratulations to this extraordinary pair of girls for their remarkable victory and for setting a shining example for all aspiring female sailors. The event was filled with exciting moments and memorable highlights. Participants demonstrated their skills in manoeuvring the 29er skiff, a challenging and high-performance dinghy.
