Having just spent the weekend sailing Cocky on Secret Water (we were in the "Round Swallow Island race" and came last)I can recommend something like her, but with a bit more canvas and a slightly larger rudder. The Tideway certainly comes close. We were in company with a little fleet of Scows from Burnham - about 12ft I guess, very pretty, varnished and with a little foredeck and lugsail rig (though someone produced a jib to add a little more oomph)fun to sail and reasonably capacious.
btw If anone wants a Heron I've one in my garden, in need of some restoration (hole in one bottom board)and its hull only I'm afraid, but she's there for the taking.
