Major boat surgery, a craftsmans tale.....

by **Rushy** » 03 Oct 2010, 22:09

I've been given kind permission to reproduce this fantastic article about a major boat rebuild from another website.
Basically, his friend lost a short battle with cancer and his son found this PDF article on his PC whilst sorting out his affairs. It is posted here in his memory. Hopefully his experiences and pictures will inspire and benefit others:-

It's a fitting epitaph to a true craftsman

RIP Old Man Dave
