The Pembrokeshire Yacht Club has raised more than £1,000 for the county's hospice at home charity, the Paul Sartori Foundation.
The club raised the money from its recent Commodore's Ball and chose to back the charity because of the support it had given to the late father of Commodore Christian Smart.
The ball took place at the Wolfscastle Country Hotel after a long break for various reasons and then the Coronavirus outbreak.
Th event raised £1,001 for Paul Sartori, and the total was described as 'an amazing donation' by Laura Hugman, the charity's clinical manager.
She added: "The donation will enable us to continue supporting palliative patients in Pembrokeshire through Paul Sartori’s clinical services. Thank you to everyone involved for supporting Paul Sartori Foundation.”
She was presented with the cheque on behalf of the club by Paul's wife April and Samantha York.
Pembrokeshire Yacht Club committee member April said: “It was a great night in memory of the Commodore's dad.
"It was lovely to dress up and raise money for a great cause.
"It’s really good to have the Commodore's Ball back after such a long break.”
