An Evening With Pete Goss

An Evening With Pete Goss
An Evening With Pete Goss - Friday 9th April


Yachtsman and inspirational speaker Pete Goss will be in town next month - to help St Ives Jumbo Association raise the final funds needed to complete and launch their second Jumbo Lugger.

Pete should have plenty of interest to say.

His re-enactment of the courageous voyage from Newlyn to Australia in a small fishing lugger is just one of many extraordinary achievements.

Competing in the 1996 Vendée Globe, he turned back into storm-force winds in response to a Mayday from French competitor Raphael Dinelli. This rescue scuppered his own chances after 10 years preparation. His dramatic rescue earned him the Légion d’Honneur.

The Jumbo Association hope to stage their first races in St Ives Bay this summer and plan to launch the new Jumbo on Saturday 12th June. So do go along to support what look like a great evening.
