After 3 days at MIPIM and discussions will multiples of possible project partners, Robert Neale and Tim Duffill are able to relax with a few guests on a sail round the islands in the south of France aboard The Blue Peter.
The Blue Peter was launched in 1930, although the teak used in the construction of her hull was brought from Thailand in 1870.
She was designed by Alfred Mylne and built by W. King & Sons of Burnham-on-Crouch.
Her first owner Desmond Molins decided in 1938 that he wanted a bigger boat, but he loved The Blue Peter so much that he decided to have her lengthened by nearly 10 feet. She remains true to these plans to this day.
She was named The Blue Peter for luck, after the ‘P’ flag, which is used as the preparatory signal before starting a race.
