VIS Sailing duo, Ella Grimshaw and Laura Harding have won the silver medal at the 420 World Championships in Fremantle last week.
The Victorian pair were up against a Nia Jerwood and Monique de Vries from the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) and going into the final day of competition, a mere three points separated the two crews.
