Haughty Belle was reported to be the last Kentish Wherry to be used at Margate in 1982.

The design and construction combines the heavy workmanlike qualities of the Thames skiff and the more graceful lines of the North Kent Wherry. It had a dipping lug rig and would have been launched off the beach using a two wheeled pole truck.
