Hi
Yes I did Sail a bit in Coasters 1968/69,My Father was in Coasters then worked for Shoreham Harbour as Tug Master and later Port Control Officer I was born in a house that looked out over the Harbour entrance so saw hundreds of Colliers and coastal tankers in and out of the Port I was a Boatman in the Port for years in the 60s I always have liked Coasters
Cheers

Thanks for the kind comments lads. A tight place the Swilly draught restricted 11 ft max high water. Just ideal for boats like the JO. I went away in one of them at 15, URANUS B. Loved it. Keep looking in , there, ll be plenty more. John
