The Tideway was built in 1975 by Walkers although there is some confusion over the sail number. The Tideway Owners Association are trying to find some history for me.
There is no room for a dagger board in the little boat and I didn't want to mess around with leeboards so I've fitted two fins on the bottom; together with the hard chine, they should provide enough sideways resistance. However, in reality, this is never going to be a performance boat and all I really want to do is to be able to have a mess around in the lagoon, where my mooring is, on a summer's evening.
