Team GB, sold tickets for the £8,700 ILCA 7 dinghy for ten pounds to enable as many people as possible, whether sailors or not, to have a chance at winning. The £18,053 raised will


go to the Andrew Simpson Foundation.

Beckett, from Solva in Pembrokeshire, personally called the winners to tell them of their success and delivered both prizes in person in October. ‘The boat is quite special;
