Bennett is an active member of the senior feva race team, and put up excellent results throughout our most recent season. Additionally Bennett has spent a lot of his time on the foiling team. Expanding his skills he spent a lot of time on the newly acquired Wing Foil boards and has developed skills being on foil and using the wing. With his dedication and commitment to HSC, Bennett is turning into a tremendous sailor and we should be on the lookout as he continues to develop. Congratulations to Bennett.

He has been a committed sailor on our seasonal senior race teams attending most practices and the regattas. His positive energy has been consistently noted by his peers every time he is around, and provides a tremendous amount of positivity. Aside from being on our senior race teams, Aidan has also been an integral part of our volunteer unit spending a lot of his summer helping out when not taking camp lessons.
