Chris Partridge of the Rowing for Pleasure weblog went rowing on Monday (when doesn’t he?) and noticed this traditional Sussex beach boat somewhere up a West Sussex creek.
The great thing about this boat, is that she seems to be rigged for sailing, unlike her motor-only sisters up and down the coast. Thanks for the shots Chris!
See Chris’s report of his rowing trip here; and click here for more posts about this kind of boat and Hastings, where a large number are still to be found among the beach-based fishing fleet.
Reminds me of the "Death and Glory" in the Swallows & Amazons books. Probably very different technically, but it has that air about it.
Dear Sir,
Could you advise where best to look for purchase a
"Sussex Beach Boat"
Advertisements, Publications or Internet
Kindest Regards

Sussex, I think one would have to say!
Can you send me one FEDEX ?
