The OCC is delighted to announce that a Challenge Grant has been awarded to Jenny Decker - a solo sailor battling a neurodegenerative disease and aiming to circumnavigate while she can.
The Ocean Cruising Club is pleased to support Jenny Decker's "Just a Lap" circumnavigation and has awarded a Challenge Grant towards the costs of the voyage and the purchase of important items of equipment. This grant is the tenth to be made since 2019. A variety of challenging projects have been supported in that time, including unsupported, non-stop, singlehanded circumnavigations and several environmental maritime research projects.
Jenny comments: "It is hard to express in words how grateful I am to the OCC for helping a fellow sailor along the way and believing in my journey. I am extremely proud to be a member of such an incredible organization and truly look forward to taking the OCC around the world with me. "Just a Lap" may be followed on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok as well as ways to support the endeavour on these social media outlets".
