Do you know this boat?
From Lisa Graves I am trying to trace the history of our Norwegian built 15ft grp faering style gaff rigged day boat which was kept at Tollesbury until about two years ago. There are some photos below. She was sold by Woodrolfe Brokerage, who remember the boat well but do not know who owned her. I have managed to…

Up to 2005 the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) had a legal exemption allowing them to transport flares (which are categorised legally…
Staying warm and staying alive …
On Saturday March 17th we had a very interesting talk and workshop from Clifton Warry – the local RNLI Sea Safety Officer. As well as checking people’s lifejackets for them, he went through many of the issues in relation to lifejackets and MOB retrieval. It was very thought-provoking and will certainly encourage me to wear a lifejacket a lot…
