Chief Instructor Will took the helm and sailed onto the kayaker to pick him up, whilst the pupils were awesome in helping out, and without Will asking or suggesting – they even got lines ready to throw to the kayaker in case we missed him.

They then got the guy on board and the pupils got his kayak the right way up for us to tow it. Finally sailing him to Southsea Marina holding pontoons where he got back in his boat to paddle down wind to Locks SC where he started from.

The pupils represented the school maturely and respectfully and were a credit to the school and to the Sail Training Trust.
