My Charity

That RIB skippering brought me into contact with the Ellen MacArthur Trust, a charity set up by Dame Ellen MacArthur. You may recall in 2005 she, as a 26 year old solo sailor, set a world record for sailing around the globe (27,000 miles) in 71 days. She subsequently established the charity supplying skippered yachts to be crewed by youngsters either suffering or recovering from the devastating effects of cancer, leukaemia and other serious illnesses.

I have seen first hand how the youngsters (aged between 8 and 24 years) realise they are not alone, become part of a team in a wonderful sailing environment and experience a real sense of adventure. It has proved in many cases to be life changing. Dame Ellen and her team are delighted we have chosen to support them.”

All at the club wish Trevor all the very best for his year as Captain.

Seniors section

Ross Matthews won the Seniors Ron Waters Shield and topped Division 1 with a score of 23 points for the 10 hole stableford competition held just prior to the Sections Annual General Meeting.

In Division 1, Charlie Tabor came a close second with 22 and Ken Scott third on 20. Division 2 was an extremely tight affair with the top three all scoring 22 points, but Ian Coundon just made it with a better back 3 score of 9 leaving Ted Groves and Rob Young in second and third place respectively.
