“Susan J” is a Heard 28, based on a Falmouth Working Boat, designed by Percy Dalton. Built, in 1991, in Cornwall, by Martin Heard. Acquired as her third custodians, in 2017, this is an occasional review of "Susan J"'s exploits under our care.

Back to Lezardrieux and a Heard 35!
After the market in Paimpol, we were able to re-enter the lock and motored out into the teeth of force 5 but little swell because of the reefs.
We cruised back up the River Trieur and went alongside the hammerhead at L'ezardrieux.
The other boat, sharing the pontoon was "Myvonne", who we had spied but not identified, while mooring in the river two days ago. "Myvonne" is one of nine Heard 35 pilot cutters, built by Martin Heard at Mylor Bridge in 2000. Her owners Andy and Anne keep her at Roscoff, although she still proudly flies the flag of St. Pirran. They used to run the Plymouth Festival of Sail in it's heyday. Also on board was Nina an honary SW gaffer ("Tiger" is a classic Folkboat) who helps organise our cruise to Saltash SC during our more modest SW Gaffer's event in July.
