Eastbourne sprat boat

This portrait view of the ca. 25ft lute-sterned, clinker-built Eastbourne lugger William and Dorothy regd NN145, beached, shows the boat stern-on, with the name painted on the upper edge of the lute stern. The halyard on the starboard side of the mizzen mast has a single block; the single main shroud is made fast at the port gunwale. Beyond the boat on the left is a manually operated winch for hauling such boats up the shingle beach.
