Kesho Boy competes in Optimist Dinghy Sailing Kenya Nationals

Rama surprised and delighted us all again this year when he competed in the Optimist Dinghy Sailing Kenya Nationals Competition which was held in Kilifi, Kenya on the 15th and 16th July, 2015.  

He completed all races with ease, coping extraordinarily well with both the strong and the lighter winds.  Having had a challenging year, his attendance was very intermittent at the fortnightly sailing squad training sessions with 3 Degrees South.  Had he trained regularly who knows where he would have been placed.   We can only admire his resilience, tenacity and talent.  For more photos see our Kesho Facebook Page
