Restoration workshop on Stella One Design: January 2014

Those of you who've been following our blog on  www.westcorkboats.com are probably already familiar with our ongoing restoration of Happy Return, a 1961 clinker built Stella One Design. The project offers a huge variety of interesting work - an excellent opportunity to teach a whole range of boatbuilding skills.
For 2014, we are planning a series of short workshops giving participants the opportunity to learn the details of professional boat restoration and boatbuilding.

Rui has just built a new shelter

to cater for a safe and comfortable
working environment
