Thanking you all for showing an interest i do have many photo's but no plans. The university of Southampton and the British museum produced a thesis in which there is a lot of info but it takes some reading. These boats were powered by using poles, rice boats had 4 poles either side, paddy boats had 8 poles either side so they were really pushed rather than rowed. Paddy boats were more or less the same design except only larger why they were called Paddy boats i would really love to know. Sails were use whenever the wind was in the right direction pushing the boats upstream must have been an nightmare. Rigging i think i will leave out but lets see now back to table fingers crossed.
