He recalled that in 2016, the club participated in the Admiralty Race. “Out of 50 participating countries from all over the world we placed 25, which was very encouraging.” Chairman of the Induction Committee, Master Warrant Officer Egwe Hillary said the number represented over 100% increase in the number of new members. “Last year we had only 12. It is a tremendous leap, which we hope to maintain in the coming years.” The post Sailing Club ‘ll lead Nigeria’s quest for Olympic glory – Daramola appeared first on Vanguard News.
