⛵️SOS - Jenner to the Rescue⛵️
In August 2024, Ryan and his crew mate aboard « Sweet Sue » were making their way up the English Channel when severe weather caused both the boom and rudder to fail. After contacting Dover Coastguard, they were guided safely into Folkestone Harbour. 🌊
Needing a replacement rudder, Ryan’s search for materials led him to Jenner Contractors. With support from our Park Farm Joinery team and a lot of hands-on craftsmanship, a new rudder was made from sapele hardwood, shaped, sanded and prepared for fitting with in just a day.👏🏻💚
What started as an unexpected emergency became a great example of teamwork, problem-solving and the willingness to help someone get back on course. ☺️✨
