South end boats

Had a cup of tea with the lads from South end boats and I have to say I was very impressed with what they have achieved with the facilities they have and surprised to learn they use hand tools. I think its five boats to date, all built in the open air, so its nice to see they now have a shed to work in. They are rightly proud of the workmanship and  I enjoyed discussing their next project and improvements both to the design and the materials they hope to use. I am looking forward to working with these men and learning some of their skills and hopefully sailing with them in spring.
