Humber Keel

The last Humber Keel and Sloop are still sailing out of Hull's marina. You can find out more about these nearly 100 year old boats from their website http://keelsandsloops.org.uk. Here is a 30 second video of it under power on the way to the Humber Bridge, click here.

Here are a few photos of Bill, the skipper's, last sail in September 2019, after nearly 60 years of working on these boats.
