Not sure what I'm going to do once Erica's SCOW is finished I won't have an excuse to wander around Keyhaven taking pictures of boats - or at least I'll need to find a new excuse.

Vital Spark
Alas not Para Handy's famous puffer, this Vital Spark is a Keyhaven SCOW on a mooring in the inner harbour.
It looks like a tidy and well used boat.

Sorry, not a Keyhaven Scow. They are simulated clinker. Guess it is a Scow in Keyhaven! Probably Avon scow. http://www.westsolentboatbuilders.co.uk/scows.htm
ReplyDeleteBrian Indeed she's not Keyhaven SCOW as built by West Solent Boat Builders, but she is a SCOW in Keyhaven, semantics i know.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the keel which is just visible at the stern and looks to be moulded she's probably a Lymington River boat built by John Claridge?
Now owned by a friend of mine, she was sold as an Avon Scow but also had more recent rigging to fly a jib. She has a moulded keel - same as my Avon Scow - but neither were built by John Claridge. They pre-date his Lymington River Scows.
