EPIC GIGability were honoured to attend.
Lest we forget.
The "SN-2" SOE Surf Boat EPIC crew collecting the D-Day Commemoration Wreath from the Helo.
EPIC GIGability took part last weekend in the Trebah D-Day Commemorations.
In June 1944 approximately 7,500 men from the US 29th Infantry Division embarked from Trebah on LST landing craft heading for the Normandy beaches.
Our crews in Gig "Britannia" and the "SN-2" SOE Surf Boat stood by whilst a helicopter from RNAS Culdrose lowered a wreath to the water. The Surf Boat then took the wreath ashore for the Commemoration.
Lest we forget.

On the lead up to Trebah D-Day commemorations this Saturday, some of our EPIC rowers were out training and familiarising themsleves in the "SN -2" SOE Surf Boat, which has recently been built at The National Maritime Museum Cornwall.
Under the watchful eye of Military Veteran and very experienced "Cox" Jay O' Donnell, from Portreath Surf Life Saving Club, the crew put the Surf Boat through it's paces in the calm waters of Falmouth Harbour.
Further training this evening is planned before the Commemorations on Saturday.

An amazing morning out in Falmouth harbour for our Club rowers today. Conditions were perfect and a complete contrast to the fierce Storm Goretti hit last Thursday.
