- A.S.C.
- Bursledon Gig
- Celtic Longboat
- Cornish Pilot Gig
- Dinghy
- Dragonboat
- Felixstowe Clayton Skiff
- Gravesend Clayton Skiff
- Hawaiian Outrigger
- Home Counties Gig
- King Alfred
- Lifeboat
- Montagu Whaler
- Naval Cutter
- Norfolk Mussel Boat
- Pembrokeshire Longboat
- River Teign Seine Boat
- Salter Skiff
- Scarborough Gig
- Shackleton Ship's Boat
- Ship's Lifeboat
- Skiff
- Sloop (8 oared)
- Teifi Skiff
- Thames Double Skiff
- Thames Racing Skiff
- Thames Rosalind Skiff
- Thames Waterman Cutter
- Whaler
- Whitby Gig
- Working Naomhóg (4hd)
The "Shackleton Ship's Boat" caught my eye - its a replica of the boat the James Caird that Shackleton managed that amazing voyage across the Antarctic Sea that led to the rescue of him and all his men.
