A Manx teenager has become a World Champion in sailing.
13 year old James Kelly won the World Championship event in Brittany.
It's the first time the Island has had a world class sailor since the 80's.
A spokesperson for the Manx Youth Sailing squad, who saw outstanding performances throughout the competition, said it's some achievement for their team to have gone from competent local dinghy sailors to World class racers in just a couple of years.
