Ryan & Eleanor Circumnavigate Bermuda to raise funds for BSF!



Ryan Saraiva (16) and Eleanor Gardner (16) raised sponsorship pledge funds to attend the ISAF Youth Sailing Worlds in Canada by circumnavigating Bermuda in their Laser racing dinghies.

They earmarked a significant portion, $2,700.00, to STV SPIRIT OF BERMUDA programming. 

Said Malcolm Kirkland, Executive Director-“These teen racing sailors exemplify our vision of resilient and skilled young Bermudians on the path to personal and community leadership. We thank them.

In her first year of operation, 340 young Bermudians have spent 5 to 17 days on SPIRIT and Ryan and Eleanor are part of that achievement. Now to get the two themselves out of the single handed dinghy and onto the team machine SPIRIT!”
