Historical Officer

As you know HR is over 114 years old and has seen many owners and homes since she was launched in Porthleven in 1905.

She represents a unique history of a Cornish heritage vessel and is a testament to her builders and subsequent owners over the years and indeed to the members of our association past and present who have refurbished and maintained her.

Sadly the one thing our association lacks is an accessible and comprehensive archive in one place that records not only her past history but also our resent history and that is up to date on a yearly basis recording her adventures at sea and her refits.

How can you help?

Your association is looking for someone who can undertake this task as a historical officer

The main thing required is enthusiasm and an interest in history.

Please note this role doesn’t need to be taken by a current member so it could be a friend you have or family member who may not be interested in sailing but is interested in people, history and importantly supporting Cornish history.

If you think you might be that person or know someone who is please, contact John Van der Hoff to hear further details of this important supporting position by phone or use the “Email Skipper John v” button on the sailing calendar page.
