    Alex Mills-Barton 
    Read what the press is saying about Alex 
    'Sportsbeat' - commentary on Alex winning the Silver Fleet at 
    ISAF Sailing World Championships in Australia 
    -o-
    and as Sussex Young Sports Personality of the Year 
    .... Then there’s Alex Mills-Barton. If you are ever involved in sport, you will know instantly when you are in the presence of someone who is going to ‘make it’ and is on the verge of greatness.
    When I played with Gareth Barry for young Brighton and Sussex teams, you just knew he was
    going to head to the top without a shadow of doubt Alex Mills-Barton is the same. 
    He is going to win several medals at future Olympic Games - I have no doubt at all. Alex is just 20......

    For anyone new to NSSC, Alex is the current star rising 
    from the club's 20 year tradition of focus on Youth sailing
    a committment that has delivered a number of
    National and International champions as well as individuals 
    who have turned a joy of sailing into a career. 
    .
    At the time when he first took to the water in his Aunty's Topper
    on our training lake 'Piddinghoe Pond' Alex would have been one of 120 children a week being introduced to sailing by NSSC volunteers. 
    The tradition continues at Piddinghoe on Monday nights
     however as a member of Britain's Team GBR Olympic Programme development squad, and the 2011 UK Laser National Youth Champion ,Alex's sailing today is literally worldwide.
