Sadly, we said fairwell to Lofty, he passed away early 2024.
Lofty, or Keith to his mum, was registered blind 15 years ago and has been sailing for the last seven. Lofty has been part of a crew in the Canary Islands, Azores, Greece, Turkey and the east coast of the UK. He’s also spent many a good sail on the Solent. Lofty has raced dinghies and competed in the Round the Island race. He enjoys all jobs on board but his favourite is on the helm. Lofty has done a competent crew and day skipper courses, he does enjoy helping other crewmembers have a good time. He also cooks a mean bacon sandwich at a tilt and at speed in the Solent.
