When we talk of traditional boats, we have a good idea what we are thinking of but defining them is not so easy. The Peel Sailing and Cruising Club wants to maintain the spirit and ethos of preceeding events but wants to be as embracing as possible without undermining the traditional boat emphasis of the event.

For this reason, we have prepared some guidelines to help us and you to see what vessels are likely to qualify and what will not. The emphasis is on sailing craft but powered vessels are not excluded if they meet the criteria.
The Guidlines
Sailing vessels i.e those capable of being sailed on a course by use of sail and rudder alone.

The vessels will be required to satisfy one or more of the following criteria:
  • A heavy displacement hull of wooden plank on frame / rib construction.
  • A hull and deck constructed of timber.
  • At least one four sided sail normally set.

    • Powered vessels i.e. vessels that can be driven through the water on a course without sails.
    These vessels must use a hull and propulsion system which, in combination, was normal prior to the Second World War.

    Examples.

    The "Cornish" series of modern vessels will be acceptable since they set a gaff sail as a normal working sail.  A heavy-displacement  wooden-hulled sloop will be acceptable.

    A GRP motor cruiser with a gaff-sail stuck out the back will not be acceptable.
