The Manx Youth Squad train at 7th Wave in Port Erin

RS Tera national coach Jonathan Lewis visited the Isle of Man on Sunday to run a training weekend for members of the Manx Youth Sailing Squad.

Five members were recently invited to join the 2010 Great Britain RS Tera Squad following fine performances at the National Championship in Essex.

After the training at the Isle Of Man Yacht Club, Lewis said: "We could have a potential world champion here."

The youngsters will travel to Draycote in March for their more training.

Based on their performances at the Nationals the 2010 GBR RS Tera Squad will include Manx sailors Amie Shute, 12, Izzy Sharpe, 13, Hannah Howitt, 14, James Kelly, 13, and Greg Kelly, 11.

The young sailors will represent Great Britain and the Isle of Man at the RS Tera World Championship next summer.
