Despite the ongoing Covid restrictions still preventing in-person gatherings, the Club went ahead with an online season-opener to coincide with what should have been Craning-In day, traditionally followed by the Fitting Out Party in the Clubhouse.
Instead, Robert Dinwiddie, the Club Commodore and local historian, gave a great presentation of the Club s background, intertwined with the Kippford village s history from the mid nineteenth century. However, what no one could have predicted was how the very sad news of the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh, and his close connections both with Uffa Fox and his yacht Coweslip were so closely linked to the Club s history in the 1950s.
