SAILING: A youngster is sailing on the crest of a wave after shining at a national competition.

Kidderminster's Andrew Hibberd, 12, put in a great performance to finish second at the Volvo Musto Optimist Inland Championships.

Hibberd, who sails at Bowmoor Sailing Club, was delighted with his result at Grafham Water.

He hopes to continue his winning streak at the nationals which are being held at Largs in August.

Hibberd was presented with his latest trophy by former Optimist national champion Nigel Musto, of Musto Performance, and Debbie Pritchett, of Volvo Car UK.

The inland championship attracted a record entry with 273 main and 60 regatta fleets from across the UK.
