Eastbourne sprat boat Pet

This port side view of the Eastbourne sprat boat Pet shows it beached with beach sheds in the foreground to the right and an array of dormer-windowed houses in the distance. The hull of the boat, ca. 25ft in length, is full and flat-floored amidships, but with fine lines at the bow and a very long, shallow lute stern extending 4-5ft or more from the sternpost, behind which hangs a square-section steel rudder. No propeller is visible, nor is any equipment or rigging.
