WBRF Restoration--LI Oyster Sloop 1903

[OEX]

Everything is still a go on the Restoration Classes. We are just having a bit of trouble getting Nellie H. up here from MD to CT. Soon as we have a move date Wade Smith and I will get all the details down. Nellie H. is going to Portland CT and will be put under a new hoop shed at the marina. At that point all of us as a class will evaluate her and come up with the plan of attack.
We are still looking at one weekend a month and maybe one weekday a week (work only). So far there are 13 people interested enough to commit to 6 months or more. We are still hoping to get an artistic person to record via drawing or painting, etc the restoration for possible publication.
All the pix of Nellie H. are not in a slide-show on the site at Nellie H. (http://www.woodenboatrescue.org/wooden-boat-repair-classes.htm)

I will be buying a grill and steamer for cooking lobsters, etc after work smile.gif

Cheers, Bruce

Hi,
Ohh man, what a nice boat! Good luck with your program. Will there be a blog or other internet site to follow progress?

Yes we will have it on the site---when it starts going up I will let the forum know---thanks.
