River Boat or Sea Boat?

Back in the 1960's my father owned this boat, an East Coast estuary design from Francis Jones. On this occasion we had just left Lowestoft and were heading for the fleshpots of Amsterdam. She could be sailed but on the Broads we tended to use her as a motor cruiser, a task that she did well. She only drew about twenty inches, was 27 feet long, could tow a dozen keel boats from one regatta to another, I regret that I don't still have her. Really useful on the Broads, good at sea, an excellent compromise. By the way, that's little ol' me at the stern, haven't aged much!
