Meteorite
I’m away playing music for a few days, so I thought I should show you some more photos to remind you (and me) of warmer, better times. Here’s a Meteorite, a steam launch seen on The Broads.

A mystery boat at Chatham
I saw and photographed (very poorly, I’m afraid) this interesting double-ended working boat in a corner of a shed at The Historic Dockyard Chatham but couldn’t find any information or anyone who could tell me about it.
It’s clearly meant for fishing, as it has a live well, and a wonderfully tattered spritsail. But what is it? A Medway doble? A peterboat? Answers by email please to gmatkin@gmail.com - I’d love to know!

Looking for great boat plans?
See John Welsford's catalogue of tried and tested plans for home building. Many of them have a traditional feel, combined with the performance of a sophisticated modern hull form - and they're all designed to be straightforward to build.

what I'm reading
I've managed to find a copy of Hervey Benham's classic Last Stronghold of Sail, and it's great stuff. Benham writes very well and his subjects, the old Essex sailing smacks and barges and the men who worked them, are compelling.
