'
A gaff-rigged two masted, sprit sail vessel in the style of a Thames Sailing barge, but designed to be rather more seaworthy for coastal work. The vessel seems to be higher in the water and does not appear to have the characteristic leeboards to be seen on the amidship sides of the flat bottom barges. It probably has a auxiliary engine for such things as manoeuvring into West Bay Harbour. '
