Police renew appeal for missing sailor Guy Nelson near Drakes Island

Devon and Cornwall Police have renewed an appeal for information after a 57-year-old amateur sailor from Leamington Spa was last seen near Drakes Island in Plymouth Sound on September 8 and has not been heard from since. Guy Nelson had been sailing along the coast of Cornwall and Devon in a small boat named Swallow, but neither he nor the vessel have been located in the weeks since he was last spotted.

Police say Nelson was photographed in St Dominick, southeast Cornwall, on September 5 and was last known to be in or around the Drakes Island area on September 8. Devon and Cornwall Police released more recent images of Nelson as part of the renewed appeal and said they remain concerned for his welfare. A force spokesperson said, "We continue to be concerned for the welfare of 57-year-old Guy Nelson and are issuing a more recent picture of him."

Nelson is described as a white man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, of medium build, with short curly brown hair and brown eyes. He usually wears glasses and was often seen in a black T-shirt and jeans. Police said Nelson has no known links to Devon and Cornwall other than sailing in the area.
