Coble

A Yorkshire beach-boat of very distinctive shape. She has a snaking sheer, hollow shoulders and buttocks, but a full and firm mid-body. The rudder is of very high aspect-ratio, deep and knifelike. Some people think the world of these boats, which may be used under oars, motor or lugsail. Notice the deep rudder which is unshipped for beaching – it must be deep to balance the power of that deep forefoot.
