Weymouth YOBS (Youths On Boats)

9th June 2010

Friday the 28th May, Richard and Mary Reddyhoff joined the YOBs (Youths on Boats) to name their new safety boat. Dean and Reddyhoff Marinas donated the money from the proceeds of last year's Weymouth & Portland Marinas Bertholders party to the YOBs so they could buy the boat and trailer. They can now get more youngsters on the water with this extra safety cover. Mary named the boat "Michelle" because she was impressed with the amount of time Michelle Samways puts in to helping with the YOBs. Michelle runs the safety cover for the YOBs and also looks after the RIB at Dean and Reddyhoff's Portland Marina amongst other duties. Mary told the youngsters she hoped they appreciated the time that the YOB helpers give up to make sure they get to go sailing.
