Consols Pond, St Ives, Cornwall

For around ninety years the families of St Ives have enjoyed the tradition of sailing model boats at Consols Pond on Good Friday.

The tradition began in the early 1900s, when fisherman and children sailed model boats in the town's harbour. It is thought to be a gesture to the old seafaring communities which used to launch miniature boats in the hope of ensuring safe passage for mariners.

AGM - 11th August 2010


Our AGM saw Terry Tonkin, a valued member of the committee, stand down due to other commitments, many thanks to Terry for all his help and support. All other committee members were voted back for another year and they would like to take this opportunity to 'Welcome' Suzanne Tanner who fills the vacancy left by Terry's departure.
