Huge cranes were installed next to Burnham-On-Sea’s Sailing Club on Friday evening (May 5th) when almost 20 yachts were lifted into the River Brue during the town’s annual ‘crane-in’.
The tradition is organised each Spring by the Sailing Club when yachts are hoisted out of the boatyard and into the river for the start of the sailing season.
A spokesperson told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Nineteen boats went in, with one coming out.”
Two attempts were made to hold the event earlier this year but those were thwarted by poor weather.
“We are all looking forward to a season of sailing races on summer weekends, and cruises to Watchet, Cardiff, Ilfracombe, Lundy and beyond.”
