    Folk with the skills to build and repair them are getting scarcer nowadays Norman,far easier to get a welder or a fibreglass repair kit,job done in a fraction of the time (and cost),sad fact of life I'm afraid.A great pity too,nothing to beat a wooden boat for sheer character,but unfortunately that comes at a cost.
    Aye a lot of interesting boats going to waste around our shore.but i bet if you made enquiries theyd want bloody silly money for them :cheers:
    Some people would rather see them rot than let um go cheaply dave  :cheers:
