Congratulations to the Army team winning the services dinghy team racing event at Bowmoor sailing club last Thu and Fri. To all accounts it was a very close contest between the Army and the RAF in the final with the Army coming out on top. Well done to all that competed.

If you want to get into sailing or join the Army team then please look at all the ASA can offer in all of our sailing disciplines.
