We ask Salcombe Harbour Board to give immediate positive encouragement, help, and support in bringing the historic ship Egremont back to Salcombe harbour.  We support the return of Egremont because among other benefits: 

• It will bring an RYA accredited residential sailing and watersports centre back to Salcombe, welcoming everyone, but particularly children and especially a substantial number of children with Special Educational Needs and those from disadvantaged backgrounds;
• Salcombe’s Island Cruising Club will survive, and continue to provide joint ownership of powerboats and sailboats;
• the charity The Egremont Trust (Salcombe) will be saved, which was set up to provide sailing for disadvantaged children and to help maintain and protect Egremont; and
• A registered historic ship of national significance will be preserved.  

It is sincerely hoped that by signing, we can facilitate and encourage Salcombe Harbour Board and The Egremont Trust to work together in a positive way, to have confidence in each other, and with a spirit of charitable good will on all sides, bring Egremont back to Salcombe.
