Lochaber Yacht Club (LYC) members held their AGM and Prize Giving recently in the Clubhouse on the shores of Loch Linnhe.
It was a packed evening of formalities, planning for next year’s sailing and celebrating the achievements of all the members taking part in the 2023 season.
Of the many trophies handed out, this year saw four LYC junior members being celebrated for their skill and seamanship gained over the summer.
Some of them have been travelling away to RYA events and their skill and confidence on the water has grown hugely over the year.
The Monday evening Soling racing was won by Hamish Loudon, Victoria Kimber and Vince Dean in Solaris.
Mike and Viola Hepburne-Scott took the Dinghy racing title in the Osprey and the Keelboat racing accolade went to Ian Fyfe in High Pointer.
Prizes on the evening were presented by committee member Karen Dean.
“It was another very successful year for everyone at the club and one we hope to repeat in 2024,” she told us.
The club will now spend the winter maintaining club boats, holding member socials and making preparations for the 2024 season now the new committee is in place.
