He says...

I joined the MYA association on 4th March this year and I earned the trophy through my participation with the club. This year I finished 8th out of 14 people in a MYA competition. Two of the people I was competing against were world champions!

I created a boat called Watsit designed by Peter Wyles.  Since joining the MYA I've worked hard. It's helped me with my concentration because you had to keep an eye on the boat at all times.

Well done Andrew!
