These pages will be featuring boats that are being built or being restored. Each featured boat will have stories, anecdotes and hopefully hints and tips about what worked - and what didn't.

We hope to show lots of photographs of them coming back to life.

And the Eventide above? Well this  boat ( 'Francharlie')  was slowly rotting away on the river Blackwater

- beyond redemption? Yes Sadly, but the 'Eventiders' went into action to salvage what we could and passed it to other members.

Update: What became of her?

She performed her last heroic duty 7th November 2003.
