Children from the local area took part in training across two evenings a week this year with a total of 37 members attending each week to learn all things sailing.
And three of the club's members have navigated their own way to success by attending worldwide competitions.
Andrew Perratt travelled to the Optimist European Championships, held in Thessaloniki, Greece in July, to qualify for GBR Optimist European Team 2023.
Logan Brown attended the French Optimist Nationals in Perros-Guirec in Brittany in the same month.
Tristan Somerville attended the Topper World Championships in Cork, Ireland - having joined HSC from a non-sailing background. He was placed 10th overall in the silver fleet and has now secured a place in the RYA Scottish Topper Performance Squad for winter ’23-’24.
With summer now a fast-disappearing memory, the club's activities are winding down for the season, but Susan Miskelly principal and chief instructor, thanked everyone of their members, volunteers and community for their continued support.
Anyone with a child who will be eight or older before May next year who would like to add them to the club's youth section waiting list can email training@helensburghsailingclub.co.uk to find out more.
