History
Blue Boats were built by Laver & Co at South Town, Dartmouth for use by Royal Navy cadets at Britannia Royal Navy College. They were lent to the town for single and double rowing events during the Regatta week. This craft, after use at the Royal Naval College Dartmouth, was transferred to the Naval Sail Training Centre at Whale Island. She was later transferred to the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust in 1995. December 2009 (Archive)
