Another season is just around the corner and the training team at Greensforge SC are looking forward to using their new training boats that the club received thanks to a Sport England and Lottery grant. The two new boats supplied by SP boats are GP 14's which the club hopes will build on the success of last years RYA training.

The boats were received by Andrew Hopkins - Vice Commodore, Andrew commented "these new boats will allow the club to develop its training courses and race coaching which Greensforge are committed to, its crucial that people feel a warm welcome when trying out sailing, something that we pride ourselves on here at Greensforge"

More details of training courses can be found on the Greensforge Sailing Club website or through our Facebook page.
