FOUR of the island bright’s young sailing talents are back on the water this weekend.

Abigail Tanguy, Clementine Thompson, Johanna Asplund and Sam Crosby will sail the season’s first national laser 4.7 ranking event held in Lymington.

The competition counts towards the national ranking and is also the first of three qualifying events for this year’s World and European Championships to be held in Workum, the Netherlands and San Francisco, California, respectively this coming summer.

‘Making the team for the Europeans is clearly my goal,’ said a determined Tanguy.
