YACHTING

I have been sailing since 1965 when I first had the opportunity to sail with the London Sailing Project, this project was set up in 1961 to allow disadvantage boys, Sea Scouts, Sea Cadets and boys from the London Federation of Boys Clubs to experience life before the mast. I have been very fortunate and have sailed most years with the project since that first trip in 1965. I am now a mate.

Outside the project I skipper for the Bristol Sailing Association. We have over a hundred members who share a common likeness of sailing, but don’t own a boat. We charter a boat, from a number of different locations, at least twice a month and have a monthly get together in Bristol to chat about our various trips over a few beers.

If you are interested in the Association then contact Jock Playle our secretary at:-Playle@ukgateway.net
