Lynher River Barge CIC is devoted to the restoration and maintenance of Tamar river barge Lynher to offer day sailing training and voyages along the Plymouth waterways, and can be hired as an event space. This funds her future as a community boat, used to teach young people about renewable energy and sustainability, outdoor classroom curriculum from history and geography to STEM subjects as well as practical sailing and traditional boat maintenance skills.
As a Shipshape South West Hub, the organisation offers a range of activities and services available to local historic vessel owners, skilled craftsmen, businesses, heritage organisations, training bodies and maritime enthusiasts.
