Traditional boats and inshore fishing Heritage Network

The NAVE Nortrail UK Consortium identified a niche that needed to be filled by developing a network interested in traditional boats and inshore fishing.

	In the UK the Coble and Keelboat Association has expressed an interest in supporting a network around the North Sea.
Areas of interest could be the building and restoration of traditional boats, developing links between associations to share knowledge and information, developing and supporting events or races between partner areas, researching traditional fishing techniques and sharing the information with a few to increasing knowledge and recreating the techniques.

In the UK there are already several major events planned around traditional boats and a three-point race around the North Sea.

These offer good potential opportunities to network and promote the whole NAVE Nortrail project to a wider audience as well as develop this Heritage Network
