A Paimpol Palaver – Chant de Marin hits 30 ans!
The Paimpol “Festival du Chant de Marin” (sea shanty festival) is probably our favourite of the Breton festivals, indeed Nick has been on French telly pronouncing it to be the Goldilocks of them all. It’s not too big (Brest can be daunting) and not too small (Entre Terre et Mer in Morlaix didn’t really have enough to keep the crew occupied), but like baby bear’s porridge, it’s just right!

In no particular order here’s ten of our favourites.

In Praise of Pellew
It’s over 12 years since I first met Luke Powell on the deck of his boat Agnes. Since that fateful day he has built me the Amelie Rose and still we’ve become good friends. All that time he has harboured an ambition to build a big boat, a boat that would show off the pinnacle of what Pilot Cutters were capable of being.
