Re: Lerryn 2019

It was a magnificent triumph of seamanship and seawomanship in very challenging conditions.
Take a salute Sir and Mam! (No extra pay or rations, just a salute, thats it. The cloak of duty to the furtherance of marine engineering excellence will nourish and sustain you no doubt.)

Re: FV3048 - Overboard!

Never actually had a bird flit the transom but have had over the years several drowned birds when my dingies have capsized in salt water - either under tow or at the mooring in a gale or in surf on the beach. In all cases the engines were started and running within about 20 minutes with a can of WD ...

Re: Seagull Race Lerryn 2017

Ah that's our very own River Fowey guard ship - owned and operated by a retired cop who is our Marine Special Constable. His boat is MCA certificated and fitted with blue lights for use as a police boat. He has patrolled this coast for several years including joint patrols with other Agencies. A gre...

Perfect way to spend some time...... its about 170 miles from Salisbury - so allow three and a half hours min. Lots of photo ops at registration, and (silent) Racing Start. There are fine walks along the river banks where you can watch the race.

Re: Seagull Race Lerryn 2017
