Since The William Allchorn was last in service in 2009, the pleasure
boat business has proven to be increasingly difficult to operate.
Maintenance is always a challenge and the increasing costs
relating to operational regulations are relentless. The good news is
that we haven’t given up!

We know the Allchorn boats are historic to Eastbourne and would love
to keep the trips running into the future. Sadly, with our limited funds, we can no longer see that happening without help.

So now our own efforts to keep the boats running have hit the rocks, and after having exhausted
our own ideas, we need help and we need it fast!

Therefore, we are asking you all for your ideas and help to keep the trips running. We are looking
for your enthusiasm, encouragement and ideas. What are you willing and able to commit to? This is
not just another appeal for money (although that is a key issue) we need qualified crew and capable
maintenance volunteers. How can YOU help?

FRIENDS OF ALLCHORN........join us to save this historic venture for future generations.
