National Small Boat Register

The Ntional Maritime Museum Cornwall has launched it's new database which it has been developing over the last few years. This is a register of all those boats (under 40ft LOA) which deserve to be preserved by individuals, organisations, trusts or museums.

Our very own Shoestring has been added to list as an example of a traditional family cruiser with local history. Her NSBR Registration Number is 1508.

The National Small Boat Register is a fascinating read, you can search for many small interesting vessels and learn a bit about them, it also offers a great way to ensure these smaller boats are saved for future generations.
