Almost there...

We're at the point where most of the structural work has been done: the boys are mainly doing surface preparation and applying preservatives to internal timbers. As soon as the vapours from the latter dissipate, the first crew members will return! Meanwhile we're getting the volunteer painting teams together. If you can help, do get in contact asap. Here are shipwrights Dan and Cakey, with Tom (centre), a volunteer who has been a much valued assistant over the past couple of months.
