FRENSHAM Pond Sailing Club member Zac West gave a consistently excellent performance to win the RYA Laser 4.7 European and World Championship squad selection trial event at Datchet Water.

The 14-year-old was up against a strong fleet of 32 sailors from all over the UK, including the Channel Islands.

The Queen Mother Reservoir provided the sailors with serious challenges over the weekend. Tricky wind shifts caused a constant adjustment of the course, even during the races.

But Farnham-born Zac showed his talent and potential and now looks forward to representing his country at the two major international events this summer.
