PERRANUTHNOE is a small village on the South Coast of Cornwall, just East of Marazion, there is a Car Park and sloping access to a safe sandy beach and the beachside Cabin Cafe. It has The Victoria Inn a superb multi award winning pub, which serves super food both lunchtimes & evenings, - a Church dating back as far as 1160. The Lynfield Centre which houses The Cowhouse Gallery, The Peppercorn Cafe and a hairdressers.
Not sure exactly what kind of sailing vessel this is or what the name means, but she sure needs some work before she ventures out.
Dear Perranlady,
ReplyDeletethe "Stereden va Bro" was built in 1954 as a Camaret (Brittany/France) Tuna Fishing boat and still has its breton name, meaning "Star of the Home" or "Home Star" or in french "Etoile de Pays".
It was sold in 1980 to a Mr. Rouse, was refitted by Bob Cann from Brixham and worked as a crabber from Newlyn till it cought fire on the 8th June 2002 near Runnelstone.
The Sennen Cove Lifeboat "Owen & Anne Aisher" went to help and rescued four crew and extinguished the engine fire.
It was sold by the insurance company to somebody with the user name "deckie learner", (a nice picture of the vessel is on www.trawlerphotos.co.uk) He is still restoring it as a Gaff Ketch.
Well, that's what I found out via internet, hope it helps.
Best regards, may be we meet in Perranuthnoe in summer, we are there the whole july.
Gerd from Germany
Gerd, Many thanks for the information - I usually try to do a search, but did not have time yesterday. She was out in the bay today - but too far away for a photo & she turned and went back to Pz. I'm sure we will meet in July - we're easy to spot with the two Pointers alongside us ! Sue
