Page 30 -1933 - PENZANCE ROYAL REGATTA PROGRAMME

Joe Legg had a fleet of punts off the prom which he rented out during the summer months
he would also build you a punt at a pound a foot including oars....
 
Do you mean 'punts' as with a pole to propel you? Sounds a bit risky among waves! I think of them as river craft.
 
@Tpp....These were 14 foot clinker built rowing boats and were named after ships of the
Royal Navy.. ie Renown, Repulse, Hood etc; and were sea worthy....
