A smack was an English sailing vessel that was used to bring the fish to market for most of the 19th century and even in small numbers up to the Second World War. The smack was originally cutter rigged, until C1865 when the smacks became so large that cutter main booms became unhandy. From then on cutters were lengthened and re rigged and new ketch rigged smacks were built, but the boats varied from port to port. Some boats had a topsail on the mizzen mast, while others might have a bowsprit carrying a jib. Large numbers of these boats could be seen operating in fleets out of places like Brixham, Grimsby and Lowestoft. The sails were usually red ochre in colour, which made them a picturesque sight in large numbers. This vessel is based upon the English Fishing Smack found in the Chapman collection of ship designs from the 17th-18th Centuries. The vessel was modelled by player Reggae.
