Ferry fundraiser breaks records

An annual TT ferry fundraiser has raised a record amount of cash for a good cause.

The Steam Packet company says this year, its onboard collections in aid of the Rob Vine Fund raised almost £19,500.

The company says that's more than £3,000 above the previous highest total - and means more than £255,000 has been donated since the first collection in the mid-1990s.

 The charity was set up in memory of Rob Vine, a competitor who died during the 1985 Senior TT, and provides medical equipment and training for Island motorsport events.
