I, and my late wife, were lucky enough to be on board “Saga Sapphire” in Turku 2017 for the tall ships race. Some of our passengers went aboard the “Royalist” and, when she passed our ship on the way out of Turku, the young crew gave a great rendition of Y.M.C.A. (as per Village People) in our honour. Much shouting and waving and we loved it. Did take a (poor) photo of that moment in time but it brings back happy memories.
Hi Terry, I was there too, onboard a chase boat, I remember the torrential down pour and afterwards clear skies and sunshine. It was a good race start and its great to hear that the TS Royalist crew gave you such a good greeting!
