place on August 27th to September 2nd in Weymouth, England.

Also at the UK Nationals competing in
the senior radial laser class, Beth Lygoe,
St. Lucia’s hopeful qualifier for the 2012
Olympics finished 31st in a fleet of 150.
Although aiming to finish in the top 20
Beth “learned a few big lessons from a
few costly errors” and will continue to
work on her weaknesses as she trains
harder than ever back home on
St. Lucian waters.
Beth’s participation in the UK
Nationals closely followed an
Olympic test event, a warm
up regatta scheduled one year
before the Olympics in which
50 of the best sailors in the
world compete for the top 39
seats which would qualify for
London 2012.

the position of the President of
the SLSA (Saint Lucia Sailing
Assoc.) which has encouraged
and helped young St.Lucian
sailors to achieve their goals on
the international regatta scene.
St. Lucia sailing coach, Max Todd, is very pleased
with the development of sailing in St. Lucia.
“Considering that we come from such a small
island with a very small community of sailors with
such a small budget, to be sailing at such a high
level on an international stage is a considerable
achievement.”
Earlier in the summer the St. Lucia Sailing
Association sent its newest international sailor, 18
year old Scott Anthony with team mate Stephanie
Devaux Lovell (16) to the ISAF Youth Worlds in
Croatia where 68 countries were represented.
Scott placed 48th and Stephanie finished 30th
overall.
OPEN HOUSE end of September when more
information about how you too can be a sailor,
will be shared and demonstrations of keel boat
and dinghy sailing will be given. For more
information please contact the Administrator of the
Youth Sailing Programme, Lily Bergasse, at the St
Lucia Yacht Club.
The St. Lucia Sailing Association congratulates St.
Lucia’s sailors for their successes over the last few
months. SLSA is in full support of the SLYC Youth
Sailing Programme and its coaches and together
they are working to keep St. Lucian sailors in the
forefront in Caribbean sailing and to get more St.
Lucians involved in sailing as a National Sport!

Beth just missed this opportunity with an overall
result of 40th but will carry the experience and the
lessons learned to the ISAF Worlds in December
where she will get another stab at qualifying for
the 2012 Olympics.
Scott has since been back to the waters in
St. Lucia helping with the SLYC first ever Summer
Sailing Adventure camp which was a grand
success: summer holiday fun for 40 adventurers
who spent wonderful days in the sun on the Yacht
Club field, playing cricket and football and on the
water sailing and kayaking.
The St. Lucia Youth Sailing Programme will be
continuing regular training sessions this week
and starting in October will offer beginner sailing
lessons for children 7 and older as well as for
adults. The Yacht Club will be hosting a SAILING
