"This is very exciting and presents a range of possibilities.  The combination of high quality local craftsmanship, important maritime heritage and a range of attractive recreational and commercial options is very compelling.  I hope the local community gives this the full support it deserves."                                  Andrew George, MP for St.Ives.

 

"Racing Jumbos will be a dynamic means of encouraging people of all ages to engage with the sea and each other whilst learning seamanship skills, developing self-esteem and a sense of pride in the town's rich heritage."         Jonny Nance
