Peter Dowdney runs this course for the purpose of trying to find younger people to step up and learn bow and have the amazing journey he had with sailing.
|
|
To encourage Youth sailors to join the course, the ORCV is giving 1 place to each club to nominate someone 25 or under who would benefit from this course.
