I am not a sailor, and can't comment on the technical stuff, but Magnus has identified something which has long puzzled me. Whenever I look at Mavis/Amazon (now in the Ruskin Museum at Coniston) I am struck by how large and heavy the craft seems to be. I can't imagine two children aged 10 and 11 being able to haul her up on shingle, for instance, and then being able to push her off again. And once afloat there are other difficulties, as Magnus points out.
