End of Summer party - but not the end sailing!. Our Pirates Day with rafting, sailing relay races and lots more on BH Monday was a great success. Over 30 kids took part. A big thanks to all those who helped make this a great event. Hollowell SC at its best?
The 'bring a dish' gathering on the Sunday was thankfully a little quieter and the freshly cooked pizza and garlic bread was superb!

Two day racing for the Don Howard trophy add to what was a very busy weekend, with 20 boats out racing.
