2: Frodingham Beck to Wansford Bridge
By contrast Frodingham Beck is a well-dredged channel of 1 mile leading to good temporary moorings at Frodingham Wharf. The mile straight to Brigham contains the Brigham Sailing Club and the Brigham Scow Club. These unique vessels with a single lugsail of 200 sq.ft. can tack quickly in the narrow channel and catch the wind above the banks. Brigham has an attractive waterfront with permanent and temporary moorings. Brigham bridge, currently the head of navigation for most craft will eventually be re-built to pass boats again. Small boats may continue upstream to Snakeholme Lock which marked the beginning of the original Driffield Canal. This too was once a "staircase" lock.
