The event will be held over the weekend of Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. It is anticipated this year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever.
Interest is steadily building from outside the East Yorkshire area and owners of traditional sailing vessels from as far apart as Portknockie, on Scotland’s Moray Firth, and Mevagissey, on Cornwall’s southern coastline, are interested in attending.
Regular sailing has already begun for members of the Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society and the three cobles Gratitude, Gansey Lass and Three Brothers have been taking advantage of the excellent sailing weather in Bridlington Bay recently.
Two cobles restored in Bridlington during lockdown, the Kathleen and Venus, will be showcased at the festival.
A spokesman said: “The support and sponsorship of the Bridlington Harbour Commissioners, together with a number of other local companies, make the event possible and without that assistance and financial help it would be very difficult to stage.
Anyone who would like to take up a stall for the weekend, or anyone who has a sailing coble or traditional sailing vessel and would like to attend and be part of this growing maritime event, should contact threebrotherscoble@gmail.com for further details.”
