Tedd Warden (from FYC) and Jeremy Gray won the Open Category of the 2014 Sparrow World Championships
held at Somers Yacht Club over the Easter Holidays.
Eleonore Rich, Josephine Rcih and Lucy Gray also had a great time racing the club's Sparrow three-up.
Fibreglass Sparrows were manufactured in nearby Tyabb as an ideal beginners boats. At one stage WYC had over 40 on its register, with up to 20 sailing on any Sunday. While the last of the Sparrows was built in the 1980's, they were so well made that Somers YC hope to continue running the class championship for many years yet.
