A SAILING prodigy needs help to achieve his dream of taking part in the 2020 Olympic games.

Harry Chatterton, 11, wants to become a Team GB star of the future after being inspired by this year’s London Olympic and Paralympic games.

The Phillip Morant School pupil sails a Cadet racing dinghy designed for children up to the age of 17-years-old.
