A new start for the new decade and new year

The start of a new year and new projects to get underway,also other ongoing projects to restart after the Christmas break. The Hardy 25 is not finished for the time being and is being used by its owner to do some river fishing near his home, in the spring it intends to use it with the family to go on mini cruising trip around his local area and may be further once he as got used to his boat. 






Other project that will be restarting are the Morgan Giles 30 refit which is into its second year





The wooden speedboat that i was repainting and repairing the bottom of last year, which will be out on the water in the spring if the refit goes to plan and the deck and cockpit areas are easy to repair and sort out. then it will be the engine to refit and the engine controls and steering to sort out.



New projects coming through will be the making of a new range of 8ft GRP dinghies with lots of wood trim, the wood to be sourced locally and all the fittings to be the same, sourced locally wherever possible and in some cases made myself, such as the oars and other small fittings for the dinghies.




Also this year make a big push to get my Gaff rigged yacht back together and back on the water so that I can enjoy a few hours of relaxing sailing after work in the summer.


So all in all a good plan for the new year and hope for a better future in 2020.
