About
The festival is honoured to welcome the French Ecole Navale and their sail training vessel, Mutin which is part of the Marine Nationale. This ship played an undercover role as a spy-boat during the second world. Taking cover in Plymouth when the Germans bombed her port town of Brest, she was requisitioned to the British Secret Services for the remainder of the war carrying out special missions for British agents as far as the Adriatic coasts before returning to the French Navy in 1945.
