Seaworthy???

I spotted these two dinghies during a visit to Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex. A local chap told me that they were still in regular use! That may be true, but I certainly wouldn't risk using one!

Seaworthy?..............probably not. Photogenic?..........that's up to you.

Please view large if you feel up to it.

Have a good weekend everyone..!!

Not if the water was more than 2 feet deep, I wouldn't
excellent capture of these dubious seaworthy craft, Keith

I quite agree with that sensible assessment Roger :-))

Glad you like the photo though!

I presume that this was taken during the drought in August, Keith. It looks as if there should be some tidal water, or any water, here for at least some of the time, but there are cracks in the clay. Time to go back to see if they are holding water since the rains came, then make an informed guess about their seaworthiness. ;-)

You're quite correct Amelia. They would normally be floating (or not) at least at high tide. I don't get to Shoreham very often, but I'll check them out if I remember.
