Rambler owner ‘profoundly grateful’ to Cork fishing village

THE OWNER of the Rambler 100 has sent an official letter of appreciation to the people of Baltimore expressing “profound gratitude” following the crew’s dramatic rescue.

Skipper and owner George David said the 21 crew members reflected on the “spectacular skills” displayed by rescue teams during their stay in the west Cork fishing village after the 30-metre yacht capsized on August 15.

He praised the generosity of the local people “who gave us literally the clothes off their backs”.
