The Humber Keel & Sloop Preservation Society operate the Humber Keel 'Comrade' and Humber Sloop 'Amy Howson' from South Ferriby during the sailing season. Both vessels sail but not on a commercial basis, anyone interested in experiencing sailing in a traditional craft, from individuals to interested groups are welcome (see Services Offered By the Society).
During there hay days Keels were used on Yorkshire Waterways and Canals. Today only two square rigged Keels remain under sail "Comrade" and a privately owned one on the River Thames.
