 J-Star Marine Services as just taken on its largest restoration project to date. It is a James Silver Western Isles Motor Sailer called Token. 

Here is a bit of its history

TOKEN was built in 1948 by James Silver at Rosneath Boatyard, Argyll & Bute. Designed by John Bain, his first true motorsailer design, called Western Isles - one of two vessels of this design. Built for Rolls Royce, according to her log book.  much of the interior is original and what is not will be returned to the way she was when she was originally build. 

The first job now is to get to the boat and make it weather tight so that the work can start on her as soon as possible.
