b'Credits & acknowledgementsOf course, over the last 30 years there have been downs as well as ups: we have been through a few recessions; come across some challenging customers and dealt with practical problems that have all been overcome and set behind us.

Wooden boats tend to bring out the best in people and it is this characteristic that is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a boatbuilder. Writing this book has reminded me of many people I have met and worked with and how important they are to this story.
