Third Mate · « **on:** March 19, 2011, 12:59:29 »

I was watching a documentary tv show series and Jumbo was on, so when they were talking they kept saying Fairplayer, I was wondering what are they talking about this is not a basketball match. It was a shock to see a ship have such name, anyone know why they though of naming the ship with that name?

Jumbo Javelin and Fairplayer are sister ships.

Please, before you post such things, make sure they ARE true.

Google is your best friend for such occasions.

I will use this thread to say that FAIRPLAYER will be here in Portugal to load some sort of portico. I will try to photograph her, and post some photos!
