It was an impressive sight as more than 100 members of Gulf Harbour Yacht Club, and friends, took 26 boats on a ‘sail past’ to celebrate the club’s 30th anniversary.
Committee member Mike Pinéguy says that the sail past took some organising.
“It was a bit like herding cats at the start, but soon all the boats were in a circle and ready to sail, or motor, past the club’s launch, Olympus,” he says.
On the launch was club patron and well known yacht designer Alan Wright, and the club’s first commodore, Tom Baker.
As the boats passed, there was an exchange of salutes.
The sail past, on September 29, was the final event of what had been a busy weekend of celebrations for everyone associated with the club.
