Sandra Hogg takes on the lead role after being a member of the club for around 15 years.
Sandra has been an avid dinghy sailor with her husband George, and in recent years has been instrumental in the development of coastal rowing with the club – now a hugely popular activity for all ages, with two single sculls rowing boat from St Ayles regularly taking on water.
Chanonry Sailing Club prides itself on offering a range of opportunities to get out on the water, learn new skills and meet like-minded people.
Sandra said: “One of the great successes of the club in recent years has been to expand our offering, with new links forged with groups of wild swimmers and a lot of interest in stand-up paddleboards alongside our programme. rowing and sailing in dinghies and cruising.”
The club is very keen to welcome newcomers and organizes courses for juniors and adults, as well as dinghies available to members. Many young locals have gone through the club’s training programs over the years and have achieved great success in sailing.
Sandra added: “We are very proud of our history and also think we have a very bright future.
“Covid has been very difficult, but we have managed to stay on the water, socially distanced, using household bubbles for our safety support and one-way systems in our buildings for example. Safety is our top priority and as restrictions ease we look forward to a great summer of exciting activities at the club.
