Mike Perham

Falmouth School of Sailing was involved in the send off of Mike Perham, the youngest person to attempt sailing around the world. Aged 15, Mike left Portsmouth on Saturday 17th November with his father Peter Perham to Falmouth. Mike asked Falmouth School of Sailing if we could greet and tow them into Falmouth early morning on Monday 17th November and assist him leaving Falmouth for his sailing-round-the-world endeavours. He left on Tuesday 18th November at 10am from Falmouth and we towed him out to safe water where Mike and his father Peter said their last goodbye. Peter stepped off the boat to ours and Mike held off to his start line from Lizard point to Ushant, Northern France.
