I don't know, but if you go to the Dartmouth Regatta there's always a few there. Beautiful boats. I'm sure the owners would be happy to help.
There also used to be one at Fowey which ran tourist trips throughout the season. Great fun. I don't know if it is still there.

Thames Traditional Boat Rally,
Fawley Meadow,
Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire.
Around 200 boat entries (no GRP, no Plywood, no welded steel) from 50ft to 5ft.
Most of the Thames based restorers take trade tents, many having boats for sale, including steam.
Onthe Saturday, Bonhams hold their Traditional boat auction on the opposite bank.
As the Rally treasurer I am of course totally unbiased in my view that it is a fabulous weekend for all the family.
