14th June 2009 - Looe Lugger Regatta - leaving port

I stayed on land this morning to watch the luggers leave port for the second days racing.

The French bisquine La Cancalaise put on a spectactular display of full sail as she left the harbour, closely followed by le Grand Lejon hoisting sail at the harbour entrance.

This is the lugger I was on yesterday - PZ111 Pet - a class two pilchard driver. No engine, so it is under tow out into the bay.
