420 SA National Championships. 16 Year old Chiara Ross, in Grade 11 at Camps Bay High School, teamed up with Chiara Fruet from Parklands College to sail the 420 SA National Championships. The championships was held in Saldanha Bay this past weekend. The duo were the first ladies across the line and finished eleventh overall.

Said Busi Ngcwama, Head of Sport at Camps Bay High School, “This is an incredible achievement and we are immensely proud of Chiara. Chiara is a committed sailor who has been sailing since she was seven years old and uses every opportunity she has to train.”

Chiara will be competing at the Laser National Championships off-shore at Gqebertha from 1 to 4 October.

Added Ngcwama, “Chiara will be sailing by herself in a one person boat at the Championships in Gqebertha – we wish her fair winds and following seas and will be supporting her all the way.”
