Inflatable Water Slide<\/a> anonymous donation, the Jersey Clipper Bursary trustees have been able to present a runner\u2019s up award of \u00a3500 to 17-year-old Hobie Cat sailor Ollie Voak who is travelling to Noordwijk in Holland to race in the European Multihull Championships.<\/p>\n\u2018I feel very honoured and proud to be selected as the winner of the Jersey Clipper Bursary,\u2019 said Tom, \u2018and I look forward to the opportunities it will provide.<\/p>\n
\u2018Since my application I have also been selected to represent Great Britain in the Laser Radial Youth World Championships taking place in Medemblik, Holland, in August, and with these international experiences I hope to inspire the younger members of St Catherine\u2019s Sailing Club and help to improve the standard of sailing.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ollie Voak, who like Tom goes to Victoria College, has been racing Hobie Cats since he was ten and has recently been busy training for the European Championships in July.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have gained first position in the local Spring Series Hobie Spinnaker class and, with upcoming training days with top UK multihull coach Brian Phipps, I believe I have a great chance of successfully representing Jersey at this event,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018Competing in the Europeans against world-class sailors of many different nationalities has long been a personal goal, and the award will make a big difference to me in funding this exciting challenge.\u2019<\/p>\n
The annual Jersey Clipper Bursary, a legacy from the three Jersey campaigns in the Clipper Round-the-World Race, was established in 2007 through the generosity of Dandara, Les Pas Holdings and UBS. Further funding has since been provided by local boat-owner Nigel Philpott, the Island\u2019s three former Harbourmasters \u2013 Capt Roy Bullen, Capt Brian Nibbs and Capt Howard Le Cornu \u2013 and, most recently, UBS.<\/p>\n
We all at St Catherine’s sailing club wish both Tom and Ollie congratulations, and the best of luck in this year’s events.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2017 JERSEY CLIPPER BURSARY GOES TO ONE OF BRITAIN\u2019S TOP YOUNG SAILORS St Catherine\u2019s Sailing Club assistant instructor Tom Pollard has been awarded the 2017 Jersey Clipper Bursary, worth \u00a31,000.
