HRH The Princess Royal is an enthusiastic sailor who not only enjoys cruising but
also gives a significant amount of her time to the sport through her role as President
of the Royal Yachting Association. She has sailed from an early age, from
holidaying on board the Royal Yacht Britannia to crewing the Royal offshore racing
yacht, Bloodhound.

HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh were presented with Bluebottle, a
Dragon K192, by the members of the Island Sailing Club on the occasion of their
wedding. In 1949 HRH the Duke of Edinburgh donated the Edinburgh Cup which is
presented to the winner of the British National Dragon Championships.
