Wow what a day to remember for Athena Racing becoming the Inaugural winners of the Ian Atkins Keelboat Award from the John Merricks Sailing Trust! This was awarded at the RYA Dinghy show on Saturday by Ian Walker himself. We are over the moon for what this will bring to our 2019 sailing season and we would like to say a big Thank you to the members who have supported us so far. We look forward to the next few seasons, and don’t forget to check us out on Facebook Athena_Racing !!
