The speaker at the meeting of Kendal Rotary on 19th January was one of their own members, Paul Harkness, who unbeknown to many members was a very well known and respected yachtsman having won many national and international events. He has been Commodore of Windermere Sailing Club on three occasions and loves the area. He highlighted his sailing career starting with a small dingy and progressing through to high performance yachts and finally moving on to large cruising yachts.
