Brunel University's Badger Team Racing competition took place at Datchet Water SC last Saturday. It was supposed to be a two day event, and there was some competitive sailing on Saturday in bright sunshine, but Sunday was very foggy and sailing was not possible.

Eleven teams came from all parts of the UK, including London University neighbours UCL and Imperial College London, and Reading University. There was even one team from as far away as Durham University.

Datchet Water Sailing Club entered some teams and there was a team from Eton College.

The event was won by UCL 1, with Datchet 1 coming second, and Datchet 2 in third place.

Thanks were recorded to Datchet Water SC, for facilitating the sailing.
