#YouthSailing - Mail Online reports on the death of British youth sailing prospect Jess Eales, whose body was found in the New Forest last week a day after her 17th birthday.

Eales had recently represented Great Britain at the Youth Sailing Worlds in Portugal, where she placed a respectable 11th in the SL16 with helm Oliver Greber.

Before that she and Greber, who had only teamed up this year, took the U19 gold medal in the Spitfire at the Youth Nationals in Weymouth and Portland.
