Jason and Isabelle Wilkins donation
Guest User
From Commodore, Steven London:
Members of the Club and Committee would like to thank long time members Jason and Isabelle Wilkins for their generous donation of the ILCA Laser "Phinester" for use in the clubs Learn to Race program. The program allows prospective members to "try-out" racing with the club, and this helps us to keep an inflow of new active members out there on the start line every week!
Phinester is a Laser with a history, having started life in the UK and making the journey to Australia with Jason when he immigrated here (hey, it's what Laser sailors do!). It has served him very well over the years and was passed on to Isabel when she joined the club 5 years ago.
To Isabelle's relief, Jason recently upgraded to the famous ILCA 50th Anniversary "Golden Fleece", allowing Isabelle to upgrade also, and so the club is now honoured to look after Phinester in its twilight years, if not in twilight sprints.
