14th June 2009 - Looe Lugger Regatta - leaving portI 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. Other luggers followed, FY28 Elizabeth Mary, accompanied by the committee boat. PZ595 Girl Sybil and Hoya. Happy Return is a 42' Mounts Bay Lugger and one of Looe's best known Luggers, FY7 Our Daddy. |
