New Zealander Holly Curtis wins a Laser Radial -

Holly was definitely both shocked and excited and looking forward to switching to a Laser Radial. We are arranging for her to have some Laser coaching.' Sail-World also spoke to Holly who is in Year 12 studying at St Peters in Cambridge; she started the two year International Baccalaureate Diploma program this year. 'I am studying hard, but I enjoy my sport. In summer it’s all sailing, and then I switch to hockey and rock climbing in the winter. 'Mum and Dad have been very supportive of my sailing. I'm sure that my friends would agree that I absolutely love sailing and they complain that there wouldn't be a day that goes by where I wouldn't talk of sailing.
