The recent Miss Isle School of Sip-Puff Sailing Open Afternoon proved a great success, attracting a number of families with young people who are keen to get on the water.

Both the school boat and Natasha's boat were on the water, along with the Henshaw Inflatable support RIB which is newly re-tubed and ready for action.

Natasha, her family, coach and Trustees were all on hand to welcome people, and many of the sailors visiting Cowes Yacht Haven also stopped to find out more about the boats and the charity.

There were even some very welcome and unexpected donations.

Cowes Yacht Haven kindly provided the pontoons and the Solent room for the afternoon and added to the donations. The marina is a great support to Natasha and the charity and huge thanks go to its team.

Next step for the charity is to reach the fund raising target to allow it to install a suitable hoist at Cowes Yacht Haven so that young people with disabilities can access the School's yacht. Donations are always welcome at www.missisle.org.uk/support-us
