Can Pyran is Cornish for St. Pyran’s Song. She is a Wylo 32 designed by Nick Skeates and her steel hull was built in Penryn by John Thomas. We did the fitting out ourselves.

St. Pyran, who is the patron Saint of Cornish miners, worked in his earlier years as adviser to the King of Ireland. Unfortunately they disagreed when the king wanted to swap his wife for a young serving wench and Pyran was thrown off the Irish cliffs in a raging storm tied to a millstone. As he fell the storm abated and the millstone floated to the coast of Cornwall, where he held a good party or two to celebrate. We feel these are all useful attributes so we invited him to join us aboard.

Any self respecting web page writer would have a sophisticated system to enable you to find something you want to read about now. I am afraid that ‘what you see is what you get’ and if you get this it will be a big enough miracle.
