Boatshed Cowes' Frank Gelder spent a weekend in the company of several Old Gaffers at the Yarmouth Old Gaffers weekend.

The Yarmouth Old Gaffers Festival held at the end of May saw over 100 traditional vessels from sailing ships to steam boats gather in the harbour. Sir Robin Knox-Johnston opened the festival and Frank certainly made some friends amongst the crowds that thronged the area.

"It was a great day out and amazing to see so many beautifully restored ships on the water. As a Boatshed owner I of course took lots of photos, admired lots of bows and generally spread the word amongst the sailors in Yarmouth about our services." said Frank on his return
