Days out Yarmouth Old Gaffers is back! Returning to Yarmouth after missing last year, the Old Gaffers Festival was as popular as ever, as people poured in to enjoy the sun, boats and all the events and excitement. The theme this year was ‘All things Maritime’ as the Gaffers celebrated their 20th year. Visitors to the festival could enjoy watching the magnificent Gaff Rigged boats as they both raced in the Solent and were brilliantly dressed in the harbour. There was plenty of street theatre, live music, great food and fantastic stalls for everyone to enjoy for the three days of the festival. Pictures by Graham Reading 40 www.visitilife.com
