    Just bought these photos. In the 2nd photo you can see the same boat but no ID on it yet.

    That's a 30 cwt. Ford WOT3 on the right, isn't it ? The bike in the top photo looks like a Norton...but a difficult angle and not quite crisp enough to look at the detail.

    The boat looks like a upper Thames passenger cruise boat.
    With about 18inches freeboard not a boat I would like to do a channel crossing in !

    If it's not "Ourthe" then perhaps a sister to it, so probably a Belgian inland crusing boat. I can't find out anything more about it though.

    It is very similar to the Outhe specially the cabin top so agree must be from the same err ....stable

    One more boat left on the beach. Shame we don`t have names of the boats so it would be easy to ID them. Photo from my collection.
    If anyone needs any photo for research Ect i can take the writing off the photos.
