I have a book called 'Boats of the Longshoremen', by John Glasspool. An absolutely fascinating ready, in which,among many, Hastings beach boats are described along with the reason for the design. The lute sterns were idea for shooting gill/trammel/ beach seine nets, and also baskets of long-line.<br />To be sure that boat must need quite a few hours ot tlc to keep her looking nice, but what a reward?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338070894458245404noreply@blogger.com
