Ben McCaldin 9c is one of 10 young sailors recently selected for the Royal Yachting Association Northern Ireland sailing team in the Topper class.
The squad helps sailors develop their skills by providing regular training weekends throughout the winter months which Ben will attend to prepare him for competing at the highest level when the racing season starts in March 2025. As well as on the water training they will also focus on strength and conditional training, nutrition and sport psychology.
Ben has been competing in the Topper Class for the last 3 years. He travels all over Ireland to race and in July this year travelled to Mar Menor in Spain for his 2nd World Championships. Next summer the event will be held in Medemblik, Holland.
