Norman Doney, development director, said: “We are deeply grateful to WSCC for funding this dinghy as part of our fleet renewal programme. This expands our fleet to further increase the number of young people experiencing adventurous outdoor activities, more details of which are on our website www.cye.org.uk . Our aim is that such experiences will help young people to grow in confidence, self-esteem and determination to succeed and to start a life-long love of sailing and the outdoors. We are delighted that Councillor Parikh was able to be with us and encourage local youngsters in these activities.”
