Scroll down and you will see that Countess of Light's restoration won last night!  Personally thrilled as she is the big sister of WR. 

Well done Paul and Heidi!

I would so love a wooden boat. The problem is I am to woodwork as a drunken monkey with a paintbrush is to fine art and I would have to pay someone to do all the work.

And I haven't won the lottery :(

Having seen this at The Beccles Wooden Boat show. The work that has been done on this, is to a high standard and well deserves the award.

Well done Paul and Heidi for rescuing another classic.

Agree entirely Steve, which is why I have ended ur with a 'composite' . Poppy's hull and deck mouldings are fibreglass, whilst coamings, cabin sides , spars etc are wood. Best of both worlds, but even the varnishing can be a pain. Another coat was going on today..

That was done at home in the garage last week end.
