Remarks:
The perfect family sailing dinghy, roomy and stable and easy to row. She can be sailed single-handed or with a crew and rowed from either the bow (with the mast down) or amidships.
Being Gunter rigged makes the Tideway an ideal trail and sail as it allows all spars to be stored within the boat for towing. This example has a great trailer with winch and rollers for easy launch and recovery.
A 1970’s historic vessel built by Lew Walker with hull number 2287, she has been kept in very good condition overall with over £7000 spent on her hull in the last few years. A real Swallows and Amazons lovely traditional sailing dinghy ready to sail and tow.
