The company experienced a lack of trading income for the sale of experiences on the Tamar barge LYNHER. In order to protect LYNHER and give access to her heritage to a wider public, in August 2024, the company directors moved LYNHER to the Exeter Heritage Harbour alongside the Canal Quay in Exeter City Centre. LYNHER was able to sit there on a safe mooring. The company directors established a regular open day for the public to visit LYNHER and they also attended a monthly Farmers Quay Market selling goods transported under sail and letting people aboard to experience LYNHER’s heritage. During the second part of the year 2024 the company successfully completed the restoration of the 1929 Cornish lugger IBIS and started transporting fine food under sail. It also took part in a number of food markets which increased the visibility of the company’s work and provided more access to the heritage of LYNHER and IBIS to a diverse and wider public.
The directors consulted with the members of the Exeter Heritage Harbour and a number of community groups based alongside the Canal Quay in Exeter. Their feedback clearly stated that they wanted LYNHER to be based on the Canal to provide community participation activities to various groups including the Exeter CO-create CIC, the Heritage Harbour Commissioners, local community groups using LYNHER to deliver workshops on education and poetry. The Society of Nautical Research also enjoyed a visit and its members spent several hours aboard LYNHER reading about her heritage and meeting the boatbuilders and volunteers looking after LYNHER. In Plymouth, the lugger IBIS provided stakeholders such as the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, the Diversity Business Incubator, The Box, 20 primary schools along the Tamar Valley with a number of activities to connect these communities with the heritage of IBIS via presentations and cooking demonstrations and the access to ethically sourced food transported under sail.
Directors remuneration included within the accounts for 2 directors is £27,124.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
