JON Emmett from Castle Cove Sailing Club gave a top performance at the most recent Laser World and European Qualifier event.
The event was held at Stokes Bay Sailing Club and Emmett, competing in the Radial fleet was joined by almost 70 sailors. He scored highly in the six races, which included three second places, an eighth place and unfortunately was black flagged in another.
In one race, the Radial ace achieved a race win, even beating eventual winner Alison Young ,which meant on the overall results, he was placed in second.
Recently, Emmett has been focusing on coaching Chinese Laser Radial Olympic gold medallist, Lijia Xu who after an absence from the sport, commenced her campaign for the Rio Olympics late last year.
