Well done to Salcombe Harbour Authority who were nominated for the British Ports Association’s Small and Medium-sized Port Enterprises (SME) of the Year Award 2024.
The award ceremony took place at Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard yesterday, 10 October.
The team missed out on an award this year, however the nomination is an important recognition of the Harbour’s contribution to the Stones Boatyard pontoon project. Faced with a dwindling fleet of historic Salcombe Yawls, the Harbour Board helped to upgrade an existing pontoon facility.
The upgrade meant an Aqua Dock system could be attached, allowing the Yawls to be stored afloat and making them more accessible. This has restored enthusiasm for these unique sailing vessels and revived weekly racing events.
