Littlesea, the Dorset lerret
Littlesea is a replica of one of the last surviving Dorset lerret fishing boats, designed for launching down the steep shingle of Chesil Beach. The build was funded by QEST in order to preserve a type of boat in danger of disappearing, and also to preserve the art of boatbuilding by eye. The lines were taken from the 1923 mother boat Vera.
