EDITORS COMMENTS
A thrilling day on the Lower Thames: Sea Scouts in action at the 1963 Sailing Regatta This photograph captures the excitement and camaraderie of the Sea Scouts as they compete in the 1963 Sailing Regatta on the Lower Thames. The image showcases a group of young boys skillfully sailing their fibre glass Coypu dinghies, their sails fully hoisted and catching the wind. The serene water reflects the vibrant colors of their sails and the clear blue sky above, creating a picturesque scene. The Sea Scouts Association, an integral part of The Scout Association, has a long-standing tradition of promoting water activities and boating skills. This event on the Lower Thames is a testament to their commitment to providing opportunities for young people to learn and grow through outdoor experiences. The fibre glass Coypu dinghies, a popular choice for Sea Scouts during the 1960s, were designed for single-handed sailing and were known for their durability and ease of use. The boys in this photograph appear focused and determined, their faces reflecting the thrill of competition as they navigate the waters of the Thames. The 1960s were a significant decade for Sea Scouting, with a surge in popularity and the introduction of new equipment like the Coypu dinghies. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of adventure and teamwork that continues to be a hallmark of Sea Scouting to this day.
