The objects of the Society include the general promotion of the history of local cobles, and also the provision of sea-going experience to interested members and organisations.

Three Brothers is comprehensively equipped with standard safety gear, and that needed under schedules for navigation and seamanship. Sailing conditions are carefully monitored, and Skippers of the boat are to be qualified at standards no less than those required for the Royal Yachting Association "Coastal Skipper."

• A sailing logbook is kept, and the whole authority rests upon the Harbour Master, and the Technical Sailing Committee of the Society. The sailing is restricted to daylight hours only, and confined to a sailing area in the Bay.
   
• The Society also exists to give assistance to the Harbour Commissioners in the maintenance and crewing of Three Brothers.
   
• Membership of the Society needs to grow to continue this valuable work in preserving part of Bridlington's seafaring heritage.
   
• Three Brothers requires towing to sea before sailing and the Society is fortunate that local commercial vessels offer a tow when necessary. The Society thanks those concerned. Three Brothers needs to be cleaned and painted regularly and funds have to be raised for the purchase of safety equipment, fuel, etc.
   
• A member of Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society is entitled to get hands and knees (and any other part of their anatomy) dirty, paint with careless abandon (and in the process ruining their clothes), mess about in boats and, if the weather and tides are kind, to voyage in Three Brothers, a trip into history.
