Brixham Trawler ‘Race’ returns — with a twist
A spectacular event which was one of the highlights of Torbay’s seasonal calendar is making a welcome return. But there will be one major change — the Brixham Trawler Race won’t be a race, it will be a time challenge to fall in line with safety requirements. That won’t stop 24 of the port’s fishing vessels from taking to the seas off the Bay on Saturday as part of a special celebration weekend to raise money for the Fishermen’s Mission. The last trawler event was in 2019 after running safely and successfully for 55 years, raising many thousands of pounds for charities and communities. Darren Passmore, who owns and skippers the trawler Resolute, said: “It’s a tradition that has been going for many years and brings the fishing fleet and families together to celebrate the fishing industry.
