Princess Anne's sailing visit

Britain's Princess Anne met members of a disabled sailing club yesterday (02.12.08).The royal - who is a patron of the Royal Yachting Association Sailability - chatted with around 100 sailors from the organisation for more than an hour at Rutland Sailability, Leicestershire.The princess - who arrived at nearby St George's Barracks by helicopter before driving to the clubhouse - unveiled a plaque to mark her visit to the charity.Club member Geoffrey Gibbins, 73, insisted the royal was very approachable.He said: "She was so easy to talk to. You'd think it would be a chore for someone such as her, but she was so natural with everybody and she surprisingly knew a lot about sailing."It didn't feel like I was talking to a royal. She was just like anyone else."Members were briefed before the royal visit and told not to offer their hand in greeting.Sailor Ros Mulholland-Gullick added: "But she was keen to have a good chat, and shook all of our hands!"
