Wooden Ships Comments on this Edgar Cove RNSA sailing dinghy
The RNSA dinghy was designed for the Royal Navy to teach sailing to the cadets with some carried on larger war ships. Edgar Cove of Salcombe built a number for the Navy, but he also used the design to build boats for the private market and this is one of those examples. The design was perfect for the sailing family, stable and stiff, plenty of space and at only 14′ they were easy to handle and tow behind the car. The boats Coves built for the private market were of a particularly high quality and this one looks as if it has only just left the yard.
This boat was built by Coves in 1967 and has build number 1513. She has been kept undercover her entire life by several very careful owners which is evident by her current condition. The present owner has had her for more than 30 years and has sailed extensively around the lakes of Cumbria, the Norfolk Broads, the south coast and Ireland.
She is on a tidy road trailer and is ready to be towed away, the owner is happy to deliver to a new owner in the South West or Dorset.
