YSC Awarded RYA Grant for New Boat

YSC have received the fantastic news that we have been successful in applying for a grant for £2000 to fund a new boat for training. The committee took the decision on behalf of the members to purchase a new Wanderer, which will be ideal for taking out adults and juniors for training and open days.


Well done and thanks to all those who helped in preparing the application and thank you to RYA and Sport England for the grant. We look forward to launching the new boat on its arrival in mid July with the traditional brown ale launching ceremony. The new boat will be a welcome addition to the club fleet.

Enter the competition to name the new boat at the Commodores weekend 26th and 27th June.
