Fife sailing club handed Lottery cash boost

Largo Bay Sailing Club has gained £7,000 to replace its safety boat from the National Lottery Community Fund, in partnership with sportscotland. Donald Aitken, Commodore of Largo Bay Sailing Club, said: “We are delighted to receive the financial support from Awards for All. “This will help the club to achieve one of its new objectives, which is to provide facilities and equipment that can be used by a wider section of the community. “More people in the community have taken to water-based activity during the pandemic and we, as a local organisation, want to ensure this level of activity continues by making our facilities more modern, safe and up-to-date. “The funds are part of our aim to purchase a new and lightweight safety boat and recovery winch. “This will allow launching and recovery using fewer people and in a safer and more controlled environment.”
