Sailability Scotland in the Round Shuna Pursuit

Sailability Scotland’s challenger fleet, including Paul Noble will, will be joining the Round Shuna Pursuit race on 26th August 2012. Clyde Corinthian Yacht Club has kindly allowed them to take part in their well-established event to help raise funds for Sailability Scotland. This is the first time that they have entered such an event to raise funds but they’re keen to step up to the challenge. They will be joining roughly another 50 boats who will also be taking part. The race will be taking place at Craobh Haven and will cover a distance of around 10 nautical miles. Support is already gathering for the challenge as Mark Hampton, Principle at Craobh Haven Watersports, will be allowing the Sailability Scotland sailors to use his facilities free of charge. Sailability Scotland tries to help people with all levels of disabilities to get on the water and enjoy sailing but is looking for people to sponsor Paul Noble and his fellow sailors to help increase opportunities on offer to disabled sailors and to increase the numbers getting out on the water on a regular basis. The Challenger sailors do have their own traveller series with venues for 2012 including Strathclyde Park, Helensburgh, Loch Venachar, Bardowie Loch and Lochaber Yacht Club. They also organise a number of sailing experience days at various venues to increase participation numbers. Despite all the activity they run, Paul is still very much aware that the Shuna Pursuit will be a real challenge to him and the rest of the fleet but is motivated by the impact it could have on their resources and programme.
