Wooden boat repair in Dublin area?

cricalix · 2017-08-07 20:05:01

Allo folks, I was chatting with the owner of Marguerite today (built 1896 - the boat, not the owner), and he mentioned that the wood abaft the fashion timbers needs some maintenance that he's not capable of doing by himself. He said at least four people have said they'd help do it, and not one of them came through. Anyone…

Allo folks,

Anyone know of someone (or is someone) who could commit to helping with this? I don't know whether there's funds set aside etc - most I can do is put two people in contact with each other and let them talk

Very few whod give free time that would have the skill for working on a boat that age. Best bet could be larry archer in st.margarets but would need paying

How big is the boat and do you need someone with a workshop and steam bending equipment, or just a helping hand.

Is this her by any chance.
