Lymington's Hannah Snellgrove has said she is feeling "really positive" ahead of the next ISAF World Cup in Hyeres, France, after some good results at the Princess Sofia Trophy event in Palma.

She spoke to local website South Coast Journalism following her 15th place overall finish in Spain this past weekend, and she revealed that the two top 10 finishes she recorded on the final days racing was the "biggest boost" to take away from the event, due to the conditions being her least favourite.

Snellgrove also spoke about racing without a coach and what went wrong on the second day to drop her down to 29th overall.

The full interview with South Coast Journalism is available here.
