What a woman! keeping in touch like that, sounds like its going to be a real project. Dare say I'll be seeing Ripple in the Classic Boat mag soon. Good Luck.

Hi Geoff, I love the thought that its not wasted, but has a new purpose, hopefully you'll be able to see the completion over the next couple of years. Regards Derek

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Derek

Yeah, in my early foolishness I had it in my head as a two year project, that was 5 years ago, trouble is family and work keep getting in the way :-), roll on retirement so I can be busier still!

Hi Rover, I had a look at Ripple, she's going to be a nice boat when you've got her back, ISBC have been very helpful to me with advice, ideas and suggestions, If they restore her she'll be a force to reckon with in the smack races! Never considered Speedwell for the Historic Ships Register, something I should look at, Thanks for that.

Hi, I'm rebuilding a wooden Trawler and am looking to buy green Oak, I can work with lengths as short as 1.5 metres, as this is for framing I can also use curved section, I can collect up to 2 tons at a time in the North East / North Yorkshire area, you can see her at Speedwell :: Coming soon to a marina near you in 2010! I'm on 07773777129 if you can help. Thanks for looking, Derek.
