Skandia Team GBR welcomed Charlotte Dobson’s silver medal at the Laser European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.
The silver marks Laser Radial sailor Dobson’s first time on the European Championship Podium. After taking a silver at the ISAF Sailing World Cup event in France, she is on form for the Laser Radial World Championships in Largs next month.
“I’m really, really pleased,“ Dobson said of her silver. “I think I was only second by the skin of my teeth in the end and would’ve have been really disappointed if I’d not finished in the top three after being thereabouts all week.
“We had pretty much the range of conditions, from five to 20 knots during the week, but I really like it when it’s a mixture of things – plus it’s flat water and pretty shifty which I enjoy.”
