HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Martin Wrigley and Bettine Harris on being crowned the 2026 470 World Champions!

We are absolutely thrilled to see Martin, who started his journey right here as a Barnt Green Optimist and youth sailor reach the pinnacle of the sport alongside Bettine. Going from the local sailing club to taking on the very best in the world is an incredibly inspiring journey for all our young sailors!

A massive well done to our newly crowned World Champs. We are so excited for your future and can't wait to cheer you on as you set your sights on Los Angeles 2028!
