The latest project to be undertaken by the society is the restoration of the 24ft motor coble Rita Jameson, built in 1984 by Joe Gelsthorpe at his Barmston workshop for Bridlington owner Bernard Cray as Probility H 23. Changing hands in 1986, she was fished by George Pockley of Flamborough under that name before changing owners again, when Tom Davison worked her as Clio H 23 from South Landing.
She moved to Amble in 2020 with a further name change to Rita Jameson BH 23, and was then sold to a new owner at Barmston in 2021, after which she was stored on a farm.
The coble has now been generously donated to the BSCPS for full restoration and work to restore her to a seaworthy condition is underway alongside the other Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society annual coble maintenance program and restoration projects.
