I remember watching as a boy clinker built fishing boats launch and return off the steep pebble beach at the Devon resort of Sidmouth. A wonderful sight. It was Beach i knew well. I raced Mirrors and 420's and getting even them up the beach was a struggle.
Julian - Do you recall other details of the beach-launched fishing boats…like approximate length, sailing rig or anything else that might be of interest to readers? (Were any of the boats smaller, maybe in the 14’- to 20’ range?)
