Your fearless, thats one hell of a job. I was with you all the way on the T25 but honestly I think I'd eat the boat first. Fair play man

Thank you. To be fair as long as I keep my witts about me I won't ever do another wooden boat. I've done complete house renovations that took less time and money but it was very interesting work and I enjoyed it a lot. That boat really was my baby

Good stuff, looking hopefully the temperature has warmed up a bit for you now. We’ve just had more snow and ice the past few days!! 🤪

Yea it got up to 15 degrees so I got some done then it dropped back to minus 3. Bloody frozen 🙄

I sailed a bit with Andy Rankin in 2004 and 2005 on Teal. She is a brilliant boat and I'm sure she has a long life ahead of her. Good luck with the re-restoration!

Hi Peter, I thought I recognised the name from somewhere, She is at bit of a stand still again but the deck is on and she's closed up and safe inside for the time being. Hopefully I'll get back to it later in the summer and have her ready for an early launch next year. I will have to sell her but I fall totally in love everytime I go near her.

@@TheTinski07 when you put her on the market I'll make sure all her old friends know about it.

@@peterwynn4088 Thank you, she's had some serious time and money invested but it was all a labour of love so to the right home we will take a hit
