Megan Pascoe, club member and part of the Team GBR Paralympic Squad, let several people try her 2.4mR Class keel boats on Tuesday 26 July.
These wonderful boats are a joy to handle. With your head inches above the water, you steer with your feet and operate the sheets on a control panel in front of you. Even in a light wind in the harbour they respond to every puff and glide along effortlessly. They turn on a sixpence and are ideal for close-quarters racing.
The first picture shows Nick Frampton chasing Peter Hopford down the harbour outside the clubhouse.
Really good fun! Thank you, Megan.
