Abington Park MYC affiliated to Hollowell SC, this move has given us a long needed home and despite putting some additional responsibilities on to the APMYc membership we believe it is a positive move for the club. Although at the time of writing this it is early days the friendly family orientated ethos of Hollowell SC aligns very much with our own and we look forward in the future to be becoming very much part of their sailing racing scene.
