Bob Johnstone Sails On at 92 | Charleston News
Description
At 92, Bob Johnstone still sails—just not on the open sea, but on Quay Pond in his retirement community, racing three-foot model sailboats with the Bishop Gadsden Yacht Club. Founded during the pandemic, this club now thrives with weekly races and intergenerational camaraderie, welcoming teens and seniors alike. Johnstone’s passion sparked a STEM-driven initiative that gifted 50 model boats to Charleston-area schools, igniting kids’ love for sailing—and some even transitioned to full-size boats. It’s proof that the water’s call knows no age, and this tiny fleet is building a future of sailing for all.
