Punts ready to enter the sculling race in the foreground. ‘I went to Fowey to get the Trevessa ready to come home and we sailed in a strong gale because father had promised her as a Committee boat for the Newlyn Harbour Sports. On this voyage Joseph Tonkin was the skipper, Dick Reynolds, engineer and Billy crew. I particularly remember the Harbour Sports that year , as I decided to enter the sculling race. Father laughed derisively at this and said I would make a fool of myself. He walked back off the pier and refused to watch the race, he did not want to be embarrassed. I sculled against older men and gained third place out of twenty. Father never said well done!’ (Perry 2001:99). Billy Stevenson Collection. 1949 4566 Photo of Newlyn Harbour Sports, 1949/50.
