Report Back
Dylan was 9th overall, 5th African and 1st South African.
His team made up of Dylan, Claire Walker(KZN Midmar) and Sam Hancock (KZN
Midmar) were the overall winners of the team sailing competition, beating
the much favoured Danish team, in what I believe was a nailbiting race, in
the finals.
You can read about this in the report on the last day.
