In early June '07 two East Coast and two Medway boats met in Ijmuiden, Holland for a week’s cruise in company led by an East Coast member who keeps his boat in Monnickendam. The original plan to cruise in Holland had been suggested by the London Flotilla to mark their 70th Anniversary but unfortunately they had to drop out.

Led by Steve Evans a group are re building a Montagu Whaler in Bristol. They are focusing on having her ready to sail and row in the Gulf du Morbihan, Brittany this coming May. The boat was once owned by Commander Bruen who had saved her when down in Devonport in the late 70’s and she was believed to have been built in Malta in 1936.
