Arthur Ransome’s favourite yacht, Nancy Blackett, is featured in this year’s Coastal Guide with a cover photo and a three-page spread.

The Coastal Guide is a free annual publication that promotes various destinations, activities and facilities on the East Coast, and is distributed via sailing and yacht clubs, marinas, chandleries, brokerages, bars, restaurants and other leisure-related businesses from Norfolk to Kent.

The feature on Nancy Blackett looks at her 90th anniversary this year, explores her history and looks at the sailing adventures that members of the Nancy Blackett Trust can enjoy.

The article can be read on this page here, and the complete 2021 Coastal Guide can be seen here.

You can join the Nancy Blackett Trust for the chance to sail on Nancy Blackett around the East Coast, and buy Peter Willis’ definitive history of Nancy Blackett from the Nancy Blackett Shop, which supports the work of the Trust.
