Sydney’s Loss is Bermuda’s Gain

Kirk Marcolina

DBSC’s has been missing one of our young guns recently – Campbell Patten. Campbell is living back in Bermuda, where he is working full time for his father in marine construction and studying online full time at Sydney Uni (with lectures sometimes happening at 3am). He is enjoying spending time with his mates surfing, hanging out, and riding his bike around the Island, which is the common form of travel in Bermuda.

But he hasn’t forgotten how to sail. He participated in the Bermuda Laser Nationals on August 29 and 30.  He sailed in the Radial class because there weren’t enough Standard entries. Despite fears he might be too big for the smaller sail, Campbell won all seven of the races held and thus easily won the event. 

Campbell’s mum Christine reports, “He really enjoyed getting back in his Laser and competing but he misses Double Bay racing”.

Congratulations Campbell! We look forward to seeing you back at DBSC soon.
