CCYC member Ian Wyllie is about to set out on a solo - but not non stop - Round Britain and Ireland sail to support the Andrew Cassell Foundation. The Foundation helps disabled people reach maximum independence on the water.

Ian’s website is sailingtrilleen.org (http://www.sailingtrilleen.org) and there are more details of his sail there and and a tracking page will activate when he sails.

You can wish Ian well by donating to the his Crowdfunder which channels funds directly to the Foundation.

If you are able you are also welcome to his departure at 1600 on 15th of August 2022, from the marina basin at CCYC. You can also help massively through following him @sailingtrilleen on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. If you see a post that you think your followers or friends would appreciate, please do share it, and if there is content that you aren’t seeing but would like to please tell him.

If you have sailing contacts around the UK or Ireland who you think might be interesting in meeting Ian and hearing more about the Foudnation please contact him at ian@sailingtrilleen.org and he will be pleased to arrange something is possible.

In part because of his disability, and his wish to avoid creating dangerous pressure to reach particular ports on particular days, he isn’t setting a definite schedule. However the plans are to visit: Portland, Dartmouth, perhaps Torquay, Salcombe, Plymouth, Fowey, Falmouth, perhaps the Helford River, the Scilly Isles. A further update will be issued at or before the Scillies. He will publish expected arrival times on social media when they are known.
