Boatbuilding on a wintery, stormy January weekend

It was a great pleasure to welcome the four enthusiastic participants of our boatbuilding/restoration workshop last weekend. Once again, it proved to be an intense and satisfying experience enjoyed by all, with great progress visible on Happy Return. Next big task: a beautiful swept deck!
