The squad had mixed results at the recent EFSA Line Class and Boat Championships at Weymouth where the fishing did not live up to expectations, not a new thing for the Championships. Line Class individual results are here and Boat Championships here.
According to the Daily Record Gus Mackenzie won a two day competition at Scrabster which didn't exist!
