There is no upper limit to what can be spent on 'Ross Revenge'. Our priority is very urgent hull and deck work. With extra funding we would be able to refurbish the ship further. We would like to see her engines run again and restore her to her former glory. We also plan to create an interactive visitor centre in the forepeak to show the fascinating broadcasting and fishing history of the vessel to schools, groups and individuals.
Our Crowdfunder Prize Draw for one of the 'load-out' jackets issued to roadies on the 1993 Status Quo 'Just For The Record Tour' and worn only once
The load-out jackets were provided to all touring crew by the tour manager. They are waterproof, warm and tough, and designed to be worn while they were ‘loading-out’ after each show (loading equipment into three 40-foot trucks ready to go to the next gig)
The black jacket is in very good condition with an embroidered Status Quo tour logo, toggle waist, detachable hood, front zip and lots of pockets. Labelled 'one size', the jacket is loose fitting and likely to fit L to 2 XL. The model is size L. (One zip element is missing but it does not affect the zip function).
‘Ross Revenge' is in urgent need of dry docking, where surveys and important maintenance can be carried out. Our prize draws will supplement our fundraising appeal to achieve our goal of securing the future of our historic ship for generations to come. The former pirate radio ship 'Ross Revenge' is still regularly broadcasting at sea today and more than 1,200 visitors tour the ship each year. The vessel is an important part of both deep sea fishing and broadcasting history. To lose her would be a tragedy.
