BARNT Green sailor Christopher McIntosh has a hectic festive period ahead of him.

The Bromsgrove Lower School pupil travels to Malta on Friday to take part in the Under 15 Optimist class at the Euromed Championships 2000.

In January the 13-year-old travels to sailing clubs in Leicester, Plymouth and Weymouth to take part in training sessions with the Great Britain Under 15 sailing squad.

Christopher, a member of Barnt Green Sailing Club, then attempts to qualify for the European and World sailing squads selected in April.
