MTB HMS Gay Archer - Birthed in watchet  
Top StoryShipmate writes "New Film Release:

Build Your Own Motor Torpedo Boat

Bought for the sum of just £1 it was the dream to bring a piece of British Naval Maritime history back to life as well as stand as an ode to the men and women of Coastal Forces.

From initial planning to restoration, reconstruction, replacement armaments and sea trials, this one hour long documentary charters Paul Child's two year project as he sacrificed everything to reconstruct the last 1950's motor torpedo boat of its class, P1041 HMS Gay Archer.

As the boat slowly takes form Coastal Forces veterans tell of their adventures on board such vessels. This documentary is both educational and entertaining as we follow Paul's journey to turn his dream into reality.

Dur: 60 mins

DVD copies 9.99 UKP inc P&P

Cheques to be made payable to FRIENDS OF HMS ARCHER

Rowing could be good for you  
Our News

Watchet Sea Rowing Club was established in 2002 with the aim of promoting sea rowing as a recreational sport, offering people the opportunity to row in the Bristol Channel and improve their health and fitness. 
We have four boats, two French class coxed-4 sea rowing boats with sliding seats (Quiver and Fantasy) specifically suited to the Bristol Channel sea conditions, our first club built, coxed-2 boat, Frolic, which is now a training boat and our newest boat Sarah Pilkington. This boat is unique since it is a traditional Celtic Longboat but the Club has worked with the manufacturers and developed a sliding seat version. 

We offer rowing throughout the year subject to tide times, sea and weather conditions. So if you fancy having a go at this fun activity please contact Lesley on 01984 634225 for further details, or visit www.watchetsearowing.co.uk/
