Residents and visitors have marvelled over a large three masted ship that has anchored in Newquay Bay.

Tenacious is thought to have sought shelter from the strong easterly winds on its passage from Portsmouth to Cardiff.

The vessel is currently the only sea-going tall ship in the world that can be sailed by a mixed ability crew, including disabled people, those with mental health conditions or long-term ill-health issues, and the socially isolated. 

Geoff Brown said: “The large three masted Tall ship brings back the days when Newquay was visited by trading schooners.”
