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.

    Great blog, can you tell us what are the main issues in this project in terms of community development as you see it? What other questions are in your mind as regards this project?
    Thanks
