Legends in the UK!
Each year at the beginning of August, at Rutland Sailability, we have a multi class regatta. It’s a 3 day event. In 2017 at the official dinner we sat next to each other. We talked about family and we both quite enjoyed the conversation.
Pat asked Pauline out to dinner in November 2017 (after a few Sailability club days).
At the multi class regatta official dinner, August 2018, Joff from RYA, joked in his speech that as well as sailing, romance can be found at Sailability.
Footnote from Jackie
A little more about Pauline……. Pauline has been involved in disabled sailing for the past 25 years. With her husband Ian, they committed their lives to the empowerment of people with disabilities through the sport of Sailing. Under their watch Sailing was accepted into the Paralympics. For many years Pauline was Chair of the IFDS Development Committee which saw disabled sailing grow throughout Asia and Europe. Having lost Ian several years ago we are all very pleased that Pauline and Pat have teamed up and are travelling the world together.
