History
The Museum was delighted when Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson offered to loan us her winning Europe glassfibre dinghy. In this craft she won her first of two gold medals the first at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her second was in 2004 in Athens, though sailing a different class.GH Jul 2011
