These 'little ships' were designed by George Cockshott in 1906 for the West Lancashire Yacht Club, as a 'Suitable craft for the young and inexperienced sailor' The original boats were built by Lathoms of Hesketh Bank at a cost of £32 each.

 

They raced successfully at Southport until 1920 when the fleet was sold to WKSC as a nucleus for a club class. They have remained here ever since. Two of the original boats are still racing and with additions - and sadly losses, over the years, the class now numbers 13. Nine 'are on the water', two are nearing completion of major rebuilding, and one unfortunately is in the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Their clinker contructions, red sails and seaworthy qualities make them ideal for the conditions in the Dee Estuary. They are probably the most photogenic boats in the North West and North Wales where they visit most of the Regattas.

During the winter they are repainted and refurbished in the boatshed where everyone helps with labour,advice and expert knowledge in order to return them all to pristine condition for the new season.

They are very comfortable family boats for day sailing and although they can be sailed single handed, three is the normal racing crew.

Class racing takes place most weekends during the season and the class supports the Wirral Regattas and the Menai Straits fortnight. Here many of the classes enjoy camping together as well as racing competitively.

The current class president is Dave Mayhew and the class captain is Andy Hillyard(0151 606 5411)
