Ben's nomination story

passing on his passion for sailing to children of all ages for the past ten years by devoting many hours of his time running training eventsGreat Britain is surrounded by water - sailing is in our blood. My passion and desire is to help bring sailing to the widest possible audience and get more people involved in what is truely a sport for life. Whether sailing for recreational fun or competing at the top end in international competition and even Olympic level sailing is a sport for both male and female equally is accessible to all combining exhilerating experiences with a need to be fit experience new challenges and learn skills for life. Having seen so many young people gain confidence and independence through sailing I am passionate that it could really make a difference to many people in these troubled times - I want to make that happen.
