Two original paintings donated by local artist Yvonne Fuller have raised £1,300 for the Trust.
At an auction held at the close of this year’s St Mawes Sailing Club’s Junior Race Week on Friday 23 August, Paul and Carolyn Lowenstein’s winning bid exceeded the guide price by £300.
The beautiful watercolours, which are scenes of Junior Race Week 2021, had been on display at Waterside Gallery, St Mawes.
Said RYST volunteer Juliette Leach: “A really big thank you to Yvonne for donating her paintings, to Amanda of Waterside Gallery for displaying them, to Paul and Carolyn for their generous winning bid and to everyone else who took part in the auction. We were all of us delighted that so much was raised.”
The funds will help a new generation of children and young people in Cornwall experience the joy of sailing, building attitudes and skills of value throughout their lives.
