Peter Hewitt who is liaising with Salcombe YC on behalf of the YWDB Assoc reports as below: -

“The last call we had from John Morrell was a bit of a bombshell. In a nutshell, the estuary is classed as an SSI with sea horses and rare molluscs so the Harbour Master cannot provide our usual trot. Neither John Morrell nor we had any inkling of this problem when we started talking in August. Other options to keep the boats afloat have been looked at, without success, so the only choice left to us is to “dry sail” from Batson.”
