About

Friends of Severn have been set up to help look after and sail Severn, a yacht built in Arnside in 1912. Severn is one of 10 Rivers Class yachts built by Crossfields of Arnside in the run up to World War One for the Royal Mersey Yacht Club. She was brought by Arnside Sailing Club in 2018 to have an example of a Crossfields boat in the village. Crossfields of Arnside were leading builders of yachts and Morecambe Bay Prawners active from 1840s to 1940s. Amongst the boats they built were Arthur Ransome's Swallow and Coch-y-bonddhu.

Severn is currently being restored by David Moss Boatbuilders at Skippool. We hope to have her back in the water in either 2023 or  2024. Whilst we have secured grant funding towards the cost of her restoration from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Barnes Trust (Arnside) and Arnside Silverdale Grant Fund, we still need every penny we can get to help with her restoration and maintenance she is back in the water.

We are also want to hear from people who are interested in help us sail and maintain Severn once she is back on the water. Email crossfieldyachtsevern@gmail.com
