Challengers New season
The new season got underway on 11th May with the presentation of a new sail and waders by President Colin Shannon of the Helensburgh Garelochside Rotary Club bought with the help of a grant of US$2000 from the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians. We had strong onshore winds so the waders helped to keep the new Duke of Edinburgh volunteers dry. Thanks to everybody who came down to help.
