Century-old fishing boats returning to their spiritual home for Looe regatta

It was on the site of the old Regent Cinema just over Looe Bridge; an area now occupied by Amusement Arcade and which, fittingly, was once the home of Peter Ferris and Dick Pearce’s boatbuilding yard. Dick was responsible for launching at least 17 of the famous old fishing luggers, including the Our Daddy, while Peter built more than 12 luggers, including the Guide Me.
