Saturday is the second day of the Bridlington Coble Festival.
It's a celebration of the traditional coble fishing vessels that used to operate along the Yorkshire Coast.
A number of the cobles will be sailing in Bridlington bay today and Paul Arro from the town's coble preservation society says they will be joined by a a more modern example of the design:
15 of the historic fishing vessels will be sailing in Bridlington Bay.
Paul says the event is now getting a national reputation:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
