John Hassen is delighted to advise the four donated Flying Fifteen shipped by the SoPYC Flying Fifteen Section have safely arrived at Salt Spring Island Sailing Club, which is on a small island off Vancouver Island in Canada. Thanks again to the yacht donors and to all who helped with this project to give these yachts a “new” life.

The unloading logistics at the Salt Spring Island end looked challenging with no container side loaders or loading dock involved. They used a forklift, a crane and lots of community help to get everything out of the box which was up in the air on the back of a flat bed truck.. We are relieved the boats and gear all got there safely and will be racing in the not too distant future.
