Synopsis:

Director Don Sharp appears in a rare acting role alongside Interpol Calling's Edwin Richfield and Welsh actress Gwyneth Vaughan in this heart-warming film charting the endeavours of two friends who are determined to restore the fortunes of a war-weary coastal village. Filmed in and around the picturesque boating haven of Pin Mill in Suffolk, Ha'penny Breeze is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. At the end of the Second World War, David and his Australian friend Johnny return to David's Suffolk village to find the community spent and demoralised. Gradually, however, they gather support for David's scheme to enter a yachting race with a converted fishing smack. Winning it could prove to be a lifeline for the village...

David and Johnnie are demobbed ex-prisoners of war returning to David's home village. Johnnie is a keen yachtsman from Australia and David is a boat designer and heir to the famous generations old boat building firm of Harry King & Sons at Pin Mill. They arrive to find that the village has fallen on hard times. They persuade the villagers to help them renovate the fishing smack David had designed and built before the war and convert it to a yacht. By entering it into a yacht race they hope to win orders for new yacht builds and renew the fortunes of the village.

A demobbed serviceman finds that his village has fallen on hard times. With the help of family, friends and the villagers he enters his boat in a yacht race. Winning will mean orders for new boats and life for the village.
