Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron recently held their awards night and the very prestigious WA O'Hare Memorial Trophy for Junior Yachts Person of the Year was presented to a Windsurfer.
Congratulations Lara O'Brien. She also picked up the Vidgen Perpetual Trophy for best result at a National Regatta.
Very well deserved and recognition of a lot of hard work on the water. Well done Lara!
