The St. Elvan

Named after the Celtic Saint who arrived here in the 5th century, the St Elvan is our second gig.

Here undergoing regular inspection during construction.  Well actually they're just curious!

We achieved a grant for the St. Elvan and here is Joyce receiving the commemorative cheque from Sport England for £12,132 on the day of launch.

Whilst launch-day was bright and pleasant the sea was rough and the baulks were down.

Those who went for a trip in St. Elvan on launch day could only do a circuit of the inner harbour.
