History
WE'RE HERE is a Length & Sail Area Rule rater built for racing on the upper Thames. Designed by Linton Hope in 1910, We're Here (a reference to the Rudyard Kipling Novel, 'Captains Courageous') spent most of her racing career on the Broads at Oulton Broad outside Lowestoft, Suffolk. Restored in 2005 by Peter Wilson of the Aldeburgh Boatyard in Suffolk. WE'RE HERE is now based in Cornwall.
