Vintage Boats

Vintage Boats

We are very proud of our historic heritage,  including our vintage boats,  some of them seriously early and still sailing.

Amongst those,  boat no. 2,  Pimpernel,  the earliest surviving sail number in the world,  is now owned by the Association and has recently undergone a major restoration.   We are now looking for a permanent home for her,  which will preferably allow her to be exhibited,  and will also enable her to still be sailed on occasion.
