A local sailing charity will be able to enhance the quality of its equipment thanks to a grant from the Manx Lottery Trust.
Sailing for the Disabled has been awarded £1,360 to buy a new chart plotter and hand held radio for its specially adapted yacht.
The charity provides children and adults with conditions that might affect their daily life with the chance to sail and learn nautical skills.
Chris Wood, Secretary of the charity, says the new equipment will mean their disabled sailors are experiencing the highest level of comfort and security.
