70 year old Derek Hathaway realised his personal challenge to sail solo around the coast of Britain - and raised over £4,140 for Rainbow Living. 

Derek set sail from Starcross Yacht Club on the Exe, sailing anti-clockwise around the coast of Britain. He spent more than three months at sea and sailed over 1,917 nautical miles, and it was an emotional return to Starcross Yacht Club in July. 

Our huge thanks to Derek for undertaking this challenge to raise funds for Rainbow Living.
