I’ve used £750 from my Locality Budget to help Axe Yacht Club to buy entry-level sailing boats to provide free taster sails for children as young as 7.
The Club will buy two secondhand entry level sailing boats, which will be used throughout the sailing season to provide free taster sails for non-club members to give them the opportunity to experience sailing.
‘These will be very stable boats’, the Club says, ‘that allow young children (7 to 10yrs) and those with additional needs access to enjoy the mental and physical benefits of this exciting outdoor sport on our beautiful coastline.’ The Club are also contributing to the cost.
