AN EVENING WITH  PETE GOSS

                                                                                         POSTER

 

In September '07, for the first time in 100 years, a 'jumbo' was launched in St.Ives harbour.

It concluded the first stage of our project which aims to regenerate the harbour by establishing a racing class of replica 19th century fishing luggers.

But before racing can begin we need a SECOND BOAT! 

Since then we have raised nearly £24,000!                                       Please help us reach our target of £11,500 by the proposed launch date of Saturday 24th April '10.

ROYAL SUPPORT FROM PRINCE CHARLES

 We invite you, your friends and colleagues  who care for the future of the harbour to support this dynamic initiative by purchasing a 'share' for  the new Jumbo and donating it to the Association  so that racing can begin as soon as possible.

            The cost of  single share is only £230

You'll be in good company! PETE GOSS, MBE has recently thrown his weight behind our cause. He says:

"What an inspirational project! I'm delighted to have signed up as a 'shareholder' in support. It's modest aims belie numerous beneficial side-effects for the community. I have no doubt that in years to come the Jumbo will have iconic significance for St.Ives and will be a great source of satisfaction to all those involved."

THE ST.IVES JUMBO ASSOCIATION has been formed to manage the funding and use of the next boat. 

EASTER ART AUCTION RAISES £8600

NEW!  2 years after Jonny Nance put out a press release promoting 'Fishing under sail' the idea is catching on...!

 The magazine Classic Boat features the St.Ives Jumbo in the November '09 issue (page 41) and is running a competition to design a sailing fishingboat of less than 10m.
