THE 1st East Grinstead Sea Scouts launch Dolphin 1, their Mirror Dinghy which was rescued, half-built, from their burnt out Scout headquarters earlier this year. The scouts completed building the boat, thanks to parents who let them use garages and gardens for their workplace. The boat was officially launched on Monday evening at Hedgecourt Lake, kindly loaned for the occasion by Crawley Mariners Sailing Club. Pictured in the dinghy are James Evans, 15, helmsman, and Nigel Brimecombe, 12, crew member. The dinghy was blessed by the Rev Bill Kelso of Whittington College, Felbridge
