Hello All. Just to let you know that we have finished "doing up" Kittiwake. (Please see attached pictures) We are just finishing the new oars that Chris provided and kindly shortened. She has four new bronze Douglas Oarlocks from the States, her name on the stern and the manufacture's nameplate replaced. She has been completely rubbed down and washed, hull painted (under coat and top coat), floor boards re-stained and re-varnished inside and out. Richard H has asked that we put her on the water on our open day Sunday so come and try her out if you want. All the best ~ Ron and Cheryl
