The Coble and Keelboat Society
"Well, I’m a little bit of a hoarder and when I found out about the Coble and Keelboat"
Well, I’m a little bit of a hoarder and when I found out about the Coble and Keelboat, because the, as an individual, it’s often very difficult to get hold of historical books and information and as a society with 40 or 50 members regularly meeting every month, we can share the information we have and since joining I’ve accumulated a lot of interesting historical data about boats and fishing communities and things. And photographs, of course, pictures. And it’s great- I love it.
