<div><strong>Help Power Sundowner – Sponsor a Part of Her New Engine!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over <strong>100 years</strong>, <em>Sundowner </em>has been a symbol of resilience, adventure, and history. Built in <strong>1912 </strong>and famously involved in the <strong>Dunkirk evacuation</strong>, she has carried stories through generations. Now, she needs <strong>your help</strong> to sail again!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to ensure <em>Sundowner </em>makes the historic crossing to <strong>Dunkirk on May 21, 2025</strong>, for the <strong>85th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation</strong>. As part of this mission, our first goal is to <strong>raise £30,000 to purchase a brand-new marine diesel engine</strong>, guaranteeing that <em>Sundowner </em>remains seaworthy for years to come. This is a <strong>once-in-a-generation upgrade</strong>, and YOU can be part of this incredible journey by <strong>sponsoring a part of the new engine</strong>!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to getting her back on the water.
