The
national lottery “Awards for All” fund has presented Killyleagh Yacht Club
with a new RIB Rescue Boat to enable us to look after the growing number of
young boys and girls learning to sail.
Jayne
Moore, Awards for All Lottery fund, hands the keys of the boat to Jim
Jackson, KYC Commodore. also in the picture are members of the KYC Committee
& some of the junior sailors.
Jayne was Guest of Honour at the annual Beattie Cup event for the Club’s Junior Sailors and saw at first hand the enormous benefits of the boat being used during a race. Afterwards she donned a life jacket and had a spin on it herself commenting that she was happy that the young sailors would be better served with more rescue coverage than before.
