THE Andrew Lewis Sailing Foundation hosted a two-day ‘Mentorship through Sailing’ programme at Vessigny Beach over the weekend.
The Olympic sailor held in-depth, rotated sessions with over 50 children, some of whom have been a part of his foundation since its inception 13 years ago.
Owing to the pandemic, this was the first time, since December 2019, Lewis was able to host this initiative with his bunch of seasoned and new campaigners.
The laser class sailor, however, used this opportunity to not only give his students some long-awaited time on the water, but to instil life lessons and draw correlations with the sport and daily life.
