Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society: Beck Hill Workshop

Three Brothers, built during 1912 in Bridlington after she had been restored under the ownership of the Bridlington Harbour Commissioners. Since then, the Society has gone from strength to strength, with further sailing cobles being added to the Society's fleet to preserve them for future generations.

In more recent years, the acquisition of the Society's Beck Hill workshop not only allows volunteer members to carry out the yearly maintenance work on the Society cobles, but it has also allowed members to complete restoration projects on a number of privately owned sailing cobles. Under the leadership of retired coble builder John Clarkson, members have been given an insight into the skills of boatbuilding, which are now in danger of being forgotten forever.

Please visit our workshop to learn more about traditional East Coast cobles and the work done by the Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society.
