After
many years of trials and tribulations, all the
training and travelling have paid great dividends to FSC sailor,
Tessa Parkinson and RPYC sailor, Elise Rechichi
In
2006 our young dynamic duo made a huge jump in the world senior
ranking, going from from 56th to 8th, a huge accomplishment for
their first year on the senior circuit.
After
many hours on the water and a mysterious virus which nearly ruined
their chances of even seeing Qingdao, a 10 race series which consisted
of only one first place, but with a consistency that netted them
only 18 points going into the Medal Race, they had a comfortable
buffer from their nearest rivals, the Dutch.
