Supernova Sailing

plymouth2009

EFG is the title sponsor of the EFG Private Bank Supernova National Championships, held each year by the Supernova Dinghy Association. We are looking forward to the 2010 Nationals, which will be held at Llandudno Sailing Club from 2- 4 July 2010.

In 2009, the EFG International Supernova Nationals were held in Plymouth. Supernova is a fast-growing class of racing dinghy, and EFG had a leading competitor in the competition in the form of Mike Gibson, of EFG Ashby London, the 2008 national champion.

In the words of Mike: “Having completed ten races in three days, I was totally exhausted. I managed to finish third overall. The winner was the much younger and fitter Mark Hartley, from Hartley Laminates, who build the Supernova dinghy. Overall, the event was extremely successful.”

Also during 2009, Mike successfully defended his title as Inland Champion at Northampton Sailing Club. Many congratulations to him for a great achievement.
