* Southampton University Student Wins Prestigious Sailing Trophy- Will McGough (age 22),
while studying for his finals in Aeronautical Engineering, also
achieved sailing success with JOG (Junior Offshore Group) this year.
Will was awarded the “Youth Challenge Trophy” when JOG held its
prize-giving recently in Southampton. The prize is awarded to a
participant under 25, for sailing ability, commitment to offshore racing
and Corinthian spirit.Will races aboard the J/109 JUST SO with his Mum and Dad, Mary and David McGough. During the summer JUST SO won races from Cowes to Dartmouth and St Peter Port as well as from Cherbourg to Cowes and was second overall in the series. Furthermore she was placed 2nd in JOG’s 60th anniversary regatta in Falmouth.
Will is clearly on a winning streak and he has also found himself a job, albeit he hopes this will not interfere with his sailing in 2012! Mary and David, on the other hand, are looking forward to Will’s pending financial contributions towards JUST SO’s running costs!
