🚤 Sabrina at 50 – Celebrating a Shrewsbury Icon 🚤
Join Alex as he sets sail on one of Shrewsbury’s most beloved vessels—The Sabrina Boat—to celebrate her 50th birthday! Since arriving in town in 2010, Sabrina has become a cornerstone of the local tourism scene, bringing thousands of visitors to the River Severn. But her story starts long before Shrewsbury, and in this special episode, Alex dives into both her past and the vibrant recent history built by her crew and passengers.
Along the way, Alex chats with some familiar faces who share what The Sabrina means to them—including Maggie Love, Bill McCabe, Stan Sedman, Jen from Shrewsbury Marine Services, Sophie Ritchings, NOT Sid (Shropshire Festivals), Darren Tomkins (GinDifferent), and Edward Goddard from Morris Companies. We also hear from Christine, who owned the boat when she was known as Lady Christine.
At the heart of it all is current owner Dilwyn Jones, who reflects on the highs, lows, and lessons learned during his years at the helm. His son, Harvey—aka The Sabrina Prince—also shares a few words about life growing up around the boat. Dilwyn’s heartfelt Sabrina birthday speech is included at the end of the episode in full.
A huge congratulations to Dilwyn and his brilliant team. You've built not just a business, but a lasting connection between the town and its river. From The Biscuit—thank you, and here’s to another 50 years on the water!
