James Kelly returned home on Monday as the newly crowned RS Tera Pro World Champion, after winning the title in France.

The 13 year old sailor told BBC Isle of Man he is 'over the moon' and wanted to thank everyone that has helped.

"It's just amazing, I've trained so hard for so long and I've got so many people to thank for their help," he said.

He is the first Manx world champion since Graham Scott in the 1980s.

Kelly claimed four wins, two seconds and a third in the 10-race series to claim the title.
