Salcombe Gin Distillation supports Griffin Offshore Pathway

Members enjoyed a social evening at the London Clubhouse on Wednesday, centred around a gin distillation hosted by Salcombe Gin. Co-founders, Howard and Angus, shared their knowledge and enthusiasm, guiding members through the process of distilling a bottle of bespoke RORC gin and offering an insight into the craftsmanship behind the spirit. 

An auction was hosted by Jeremy Wilton, with Will Douglas securing the finished bottle. The second and third place bidders also had the chance to commission their own bespoke bottles, contributing to a strong fundraising outcome of just under £1,000 in support of The Griffin Offshore Pathway.



The money raised is going directly to give two bursaries to support two new Griffin sailors, so they are able to take part in this year’s programme. If members would like to make a donation to the Griffin Offshore Pathway and give more young people the opportunity to get involved in offshore racing, you can do so HERE.



Thank you to Salcombe Gin for making the evening both informative and enjoyable, and to members for their continued support of youth sailing.
