Thank you to RPNYC fleet for their support of the Hebtro Trophy day

07Worser Bay Boating Club Commodore Bridget Leppien has thanked the RPNYC fleet for their support of the 2013 Hebtro Trophy fundraising day.

This year we are raising funds to keep our Junior Sailing programme going and also to fix up our changing rooms. It loooks like the day is going to bring in over $20,000 so we are really delighted and it is due in no small part to the support of the RPNYC keelers and launches."
