Cerna Yacht Club in Czechia from August 1st to 8th 2025.
This is an historic achievement for South Cerney Sailing Club. This is the first time we have
had so many juniors selected for Team GBR since the club was formed in 1955.
The successful sailors are:

The 96 Cadet Squadron is an integral part of South Cerney Sailing Club providing a safe
environment for boys and girls aged 8 to 16 years old to learn to sail and develop both
their sailing and life skills.
Cadet Squadron Captain Tim Bullock stated, "We are delighted that so many of our sailors
have been selected to be part of Team GBR. To have eight sailors selected from hundreds
across the UK represents a significant achievement not only for the sailors but also the
coaches and support teams who put in so much hard work week after week to develop the
sailors."
Additionally at the selection event earlier this year South Cerney Sailors also took first, second
and third in the Silver Fleet. The successful sailors are:
- Will Hancock
- Sam Beaudro
- Noah Sauven
- Polly Kornicki
- Kyla Brezan
- Alex Nailer
From beginner to aspiring Olympian, the Cadet is the worlds' most successful two person
training dinghy, specifically tailored towards children and young people. Originally
designed by Jack Holt in 1947, there are now more than 10,000 Cadets sailed in over 40
countries around the world.
South Cerney Sailing Club is based in the idyllic Cotswold Water Park and provides sailing
for all ages and capabilities. As an RYA accredited training centre we are able to offer sail
training to both adults and juniors. The club provides an exciting and varied sailing
calendar with racing every week plus cruising, paddle boarding, and many social activities
throughout the year. We welcome new members.
