Dinghy Show Competition Winner

Cameron Tweedle to sail the Suntouched Sailboats sponsored D-One at the Europeans

A competition was run at the 2014 RYA Dinghy Show where one lucky winner would be offered the use of a D-One for the Europeans, sponsored by Suntouched Sailboats. The winner was 15 year old Cameron Tweedle from Oxford Sailing Club. Since the Dinghy Show Cameron has attended the D-One training day at Oxford and is up for the challenge! When asked how he felt about being offered the boat Cameron replied:

“I’m absolutely delighted to have been given this opportunity by Suntouched and the Class Association. This really is a fantastic chance for me to go and race against some of the world’s best sailors at the Europeans. I’ve sailed the D-One a couple of times now and it’s been brilliant training with the likes of Charlie Cumbley and Nick Craig. “

Although only 15, Cameron already stands at 6ft 3” tall, weighing 82kg and races as part of the RYA Laser Standard Youth Squad. At last year’s D-One Gold Cup sailors in the top five ranged in weight from 74kg through to 118kg demonstrating the versatility of the D-One rig.
