Longshore Yachts
For owners and admirers of these super boats
The Longshore 16 is a traditional design 16 foot trailer-sailor. Good looking, well built, very stable, simple to launch and sail – she is ideal for harbour, estuary, and coastal sailing, while sturdy enough to endure stronger winds or attempt more adventurous passages.
Design and build
The Longshore 16 was built during the late eighties and nineties by Longshore International in the UK, originally by Peter Harris of Winterbourne Monkton in Wiltshire, then in 1994 by Longshore International LLP of Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. I have been told informally that Peter Harris was the designer; but have not been able to confirm this. A pdf of the 1993 sales literature can be found here
The makers said that the design is based on a Portpatrick fishing boat – double ended (ie pointed at both ends) with a hatch opening to a large cabin (which would have been the hold in the original design).
She is constructed from GRP but has teak-laid decks and teak gunnel cappings. The hull has wide clinker-style lands and the mast, yard and tiller are wood. Many metal fittings – fairleads, rudder hinges, rowlocks – are bronze (load-bearing shroud and stay fittings are stainless).
A horizontal sliding hatch opens to a cosy cushion-lined cabin. The cabin is ideal for storing all the stuff you need for sailing – picnic, oilies, flares – but is large enough to store an inflatable dinghy (when deflated), bodyboards, etc. It is also an excellent safe space to store children, who love hiding down below. It will even sleep 2 (provided you are good friends!)
The build quality and attention to detail are superb. Altogether, she is a very attractive boat.
Sails and Rig
Rig is standing lug mainsail with a jib. Sails are made from Dacron. The mainsail is loose-footed (ie no boom to knock you overboard when gybing). The small jib hanks on to the forestay. The main has two sets of reefing points. The wooden mast is held in place by polypropylene rope shrouds and a stainless wire forestay.
On the water
Sailing her is a cinch. The simple jib- and main-sheets have no blocks or pulleys and lead straight back to the cockpit for cleating. The rudder is large and well balanced, the long tiller needing only light pressure.
She draws only 18 inches, allowing access up shallow rivers and creeks. Even then, if you do go aground, just push off with a boathook – or hop overboard and push (you won’t get the hem of your shorts wet). The shallow draught also allows you to sail straight up onto the beach and discharge your cargo of family/dog/picnic without getting wet feet!
She is quite beamy and weighs 500kg, most of which is ballast in her long keel. This makes her very stable even in strong winds. There are two water-tight compartments at the fore and aft ends. The makers claimed she was self-righting and unsinkable (but then so was the Titanic!) – has anyone put this to the test?.
With a good breeze she will sail at 45 degrees to the wind and will tack through 90 degrees, with a gentler breeze it will be closer to 55/110 degrees.
A pair of oars and rowlocks (optional extras) along with a small thwart, or taft, that fits into the cockpit enable her to be rowed. Or, (again an option) an auxiliary 2HP outboard that clamps to a clever swivelling bracket that puts the prop directly behind rudder enables her to be motored.
Towing and Launching
The total weight (boat + trailer) is about 750kg or three-quarters of a ton. So ideally, a medium-sized car is needed for towing. (I can confirm that a Peugeot 306 with 1.6 litre non-turbo engine struggles a bit up hills – I can end up in 2nd or 3rd gear at 20-30 mph)
Launching is very quick and easy – like a dinghy (except that even two people can’t carry her!) From arriving at the slipway to floating her off takes half an hour – or 15 minutes if you set her up for ‘quick launch’.
- remove the lightboard,
- erect the mast (which can be left with shrouds attached – just tie down the forestay);
- hank the jib onto the forestay and feed the jibsheets through the fairleads;
- attach the yard (which can be left with the mainsail laced on) to the main halyard and downhaul with snapshackles;
- hang the rudder (which again can be left on while towing)
- reverse down the slip.

Longshore 16 and 19
Dad would have looked at the Longshore 19 and said, "Now that's a real boat. That's all you need." Both the 16-footer and the 19-footer are very much real boats and truly all you need to start the adventure of cruising. Both of these boats have enough shoal draft that you could even get by cruising without a tender. Just hop over the side into knee-deep water and wade ashore carrying your shoes. No, you can't take the breadmaker.
The general hull form is a synthesis of types found among the Shetland Island boats of Scotland. They are double-enders with outboard rudders, copious sheer spring and modest beam. They don't have any kind of centerboard or daggerboard, and that means they will rely upon their long, straight, shoal keels for lift to weather. I just can't see how you would get any reasonable weatherly performance out of these boats. I'm not sure I have the patience or the imagination to enjoy beating in one of these little sloops.
Both sloops are rigged as standing lugs. I think they are standing lugs. There's standing lugs and dipping lugs, but the standing lug is the easier rig to use. It doesn't really matter if this is a weatherly rig; all it has to do is match the weather performance potential of the hull. There's no backstay and the jib is set flying on furling gear.
I suppose what I want out of a small boat like this is strength, the ability to get warm and dry and the ability to sail the boat seriously and effectively. If you lived on a body of water that gave you cruising destinations of 20 miles or less on a beam reach in both directions, I think these boats would work. Even when its blowing 25 you could reach across the bay in fine style. But when I started my spring cruise, the temperature climbed to 45, the wind blew 20 on the nose for most of the day and it rained that Pacific Northwest, ever-present rain. You can always motor. But that's not the point. We're sailors. If I wanted to motor, it wouldn't be at 5.5 knots.
These boats certainly capture the desire to take off. Much as I try to convince myself that I couldn't cruise Puget Sound in one of them, the more I feel challenged. The 16 and 19 are beautifully built little hookers. Can't you just imagine sliding into Port Ludlow and dropping the hook right next to a Swan 65? You could disappear below for an hour. Drive them crazy trying to figure out what you can do below for an hour on such a small ship. You tell me who's got the bragging rights.
