Roger Nowell, one of the longest serving skippers in Newlyn, has died last Friday.
He was a much loved and respected figure in the community and became a household name when the BBC television documentary "The Skipper" was released in 1993.
"... Like generations of his family he was messing about in boats before he could walk.
Roger Nowell 1944 - 2010
