Mike Rummel, Charles Egerton-Warburton and John Roberson (aka Rummeliser, Chuck and Robo), after several after-dinner drinks in mid-May, were encouraged by their wives to sail Astraea in the Round the Island Race on July 1st, 2023. New to Folkboats, they decided it would be fun to do so. As two of them have homes on the Island and one has been an annual Cowes Week attendee for over 50 years, they have chosen South Wight Area Youth (SWAY) Community Hub as a way to give back to the local community.

SWAY’s aim is to give ‘Hope and Focus’ for the youth and their families in South Wight, helping them transform their lives. The vision underlining this initiative is a plan to build the SWAY Community Hub in Chale as a central place from which to run and support the charity’s activities.
