Working to get Spray back onto the Bay

from The Morecambe Bay Podcast Hosted by Nigel Thompson

It's taken 2 years of painstaking work but a historic Morecambe Bay fishing boat is about to return to the Bay. The Morecambe Bay Prawner Trust acquired the 130 year old Spray after it faced an uncertain future. Built in Arnside, the sturdy wooden craft was built to handle the dangerous waters, rushing tides and strong winds of Morecambe Bay. I've been given a look around the boat by trustee and skipper Robin Ashcroft who shares his hopes for its' future. Spray was built by Crossfields of Arnside and her history and restoration will be covered at this year’s Crossfield Conference, run by Arnside Sailing Club on Saturday 22nd November 2025.
