Such a great film bud, you have done my home port proud. I remember saying hello at one point, I have my yacht just a few fingers along the pontoon where you where tied up, the Moody 30, I do wander around saying hello. Little Maid Mel belongs to a friend called Tim, he also has a punt at Sennen and depending on the weather chooses where he fishes, great bloke, does pots during the summer, I went out on her during the summer. Of all the boats you choose that little one, awesome. The sails aft on those boats are not for propulsion, they are to keep em straight when handlining I am told. The row boats are local Gig clubs, they keep the boats here so they can train easy, their big race is over Scilly every year. The Ivan Ellen is a Severn class, she is prop driven and a proper beast, I have the privilege of being crew on her, stay safe. If you ever back this way kettle be on :)

Oohh - what have you got up your sleeve there?? keeping us on tenterhooks ;-) The fishing boat is just fitted with a mizzen for stability and, maybe, drifting. Ketch = two masts, mizzen forward of the rudder post. Yawl = two masts, mizzen aft of the ruder post. Both have a the mainmast taller than the mizzen. The rowing boats are racing gigs, very popular in cornwall, especially the Isles of Scilly.

Dave Barrett I should have known that. Tim actually told me that afterwards, he’s a bit of a lifeboat geek, apparently that’s the one with the jet drive units isn’t it?
