Arthur's Miracle Restoration Project

If anyone wonders what Arthur is up to - this is the status of the Miracle he is rebuilding.

It started off looking very much the worse for wear....(Aug 2005)

It needed to be stripped down to the bare essentials to see what could be salvaged.......(Sep 2005)

It then started to look like a boat again! (Oct 2005)

Progress is still being made, despite the cold weather......(Nov 2005)

It could even be watertight soon! (Dec 2005)

The decks are on...... (Jan 2006)

Things are moving along nicely (Feb/Mar 2006)

Still more bits and pieces need doing - Arthur shows Hilary progress so far (April 2006)

The boat is just about ready for its debut at the Redoubt. Will it float or sink? Watch this space! (May 2006)

It floated! And despite a crash at the first mark, it survived its first race! A selection of photographs of the maiden voyage:
