OnBoard Festival Day

Over 50 young sailors attend this year's OnBoard festival.

A fantastic day's sailing for over 50 children from WKSC, Neston High School, Cheshire Schools, Astbury Sailing Club and the Sea Cadets!

The Commodore says "Onboard is a great springboard to help increase junior sailing although, without the many volunteers and excellent training and junior committees we could not have achieved all that we have.

The junior and family numbers are increasing slowly but almost as important, the proportion of those members actively sailing and enjoying the club facilities is much higher this year."
