Hansa Class UK Art Competition On the Water Winner: June Woolley © June Woolley
Our competitive circuit usually starts in April, but so far this year we have been unable to enjoy any of the Hansa sailing events. We tried to come up with innovative ideas to engage our sailors during the lockdown; as well as organising VR racing we thought it would be fun to encourage creativity and positivity through our social media.
We launched the Hansa Art Competition back in May and we have been overwhelmed with the entries we received! It became clear that Hansa friends from all over the globe wanted to get involved and we have had artworks from Hong Kong, Australia and The Philippines! We had 4 categories to enter; 'on the water', 'onshore', 'lockdown sailing fix' and 'design a boat'. All the entries were shared on our Facebook page (Hansa Class UK) as well as our Instagram and Twitter feeds (@HansaClassUK).
We thought your readers might like to see some of the winners. We are so delighted with the response we received and thank everyone who participated.
