WELCOME TO SALCOMBE LIFEBOATS
Salcombe lies at the entrance to the Salcombe & Kingsbridge Estuary, at the southern most point of Devon. At the seaward end lies a notorious sand bar, which in certain wind and tide conditions has proven treacherous for mariners. The rugged coastline to the east & west of Salcombe, combined with the elements has proven to be a constant contest for shipping and the lifeboat, which has been established in the town since 1869.
The Baltic Exchange visit Salcombe Lifeboat Crew
Summer arrived, five races, two lunches, a wild dinner and more prizes than we've ever seen.
"A huge thank-you to all who participated, you helped raise over £6,300 for the Salcombe Lifeboat and £1,000 for the SYC which as you know is greatly needed at this time. I really thought the weekend went very well, lots of hard work from you all, some were missing the Rugby, others wishing they were sunbathing on the beach, but the support from everyone from the race box, the safety boats, the helms and their boats, the Salcombe Yacht Club Staff you' all know who you all are, very well done."
Andrew Stirling Y74. Chairman of the Salcombe Yawl Owners Association.
