Birdham Gaffers

Spotted at Birdham Pool on a bright spring day, not quite ready for the season, the blue boat below is curiously called Black Lady, perhaps her black transom is a clue to a former colour scheme.

Definitely black in working boat colours, I did read the name but forgot to write it down.

This may or may not be a gaff yawl, but I'm betting that it is when the mast comes back from presumably winter work, very pretty.
