We look forward to John’s involvement in Access sailing for many years to come.

John thanked the membership and said “ I have seen the Access class grow from the first boats we imported at Rutland Sailability and have been so impressed by the dedication of the clubs and in particular the enthusiasm of the many sailors who now sail these boats. I will treasure this memento.
