Spinnaker Shanty was initially formed to help out at an event on board The Victory in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. From that day the group has continued to perform at many events. They enjoy singing shanties and sea songs to all kinds of audiences, from folk clubs to shanty festivals and have a regular monthly spot at the 4 Ale Taproom in Gosport. All four members of the group have many years of singing experience brought together to form Spinnaker.
