Sheryll Murray MP was pleased to present the best dressed crew award to the Spinnaker Smurfs who also won the England and back race at the Saltash Regatta on Sunday.
The England and Back cutter race, features up to 12 crews of strictly amateur rowers in fancy dress, competing for the honour of being first to get a Cornish Flag from the Plymouth shore and bring it back.
Following the event Sheryll said, “It is always a real joy to pop along to the Saltash Regetta. I was delighted to see some of the Gigs before watching the teams dash to Devon, grab a flag and race back. Well done to all those who entered and especially to the Quickstore Team who made it into the semi finals. It was the Spinnaker Smurfs who gained victory and were the first team in the final to return to Saltash with the St Piran’s flag.”
