Good to hear from you and good luck wit...Hi Martin<br /><br />Good to hear from you and good luck with the skiff. They go together easily as I'm sure you know and I'd involved in the Isle of Seil one, see www.seilskiff.org.uk. There's also a post about them here, http://scottishboating.blogspot.co.uk/2012_09_01_archive.html<br /><br />Too far to go to Portsoy, so haven't been for years.Ewanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164790608082005605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875762894527152234.post-2090204905722660612012-10-30T15:45:44.612-07:002012-10-30T15:45:44.612-07:00oh AAAND whilst in love with the wooden boat build...oh AAAND whilst in love with the wooden boat building industry it needs to be noted that for education and training needs tupperware has to be delivered as well as the sad fact of life is that until oil gets too expensive then the majority of construction throughout the world will consist of plastic and being able to service this industry may assist in allowing folk to indulge in their real passion if only in a limited capacity.<br />FINALLY it is about time Scotland had its own boat building school as school leaver can no longer study in this country and have to be resident in England for a year to qualify for funding to attend the colleges there.....Watch this space in the coming months for some (hopefuly good news in this subject !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811511374786839367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875762894527152234.post-49600310322610529192012-10-30T15:37:48.258-07:002012-10-30T15:37:48.258-07:00with the amazing growth in the Scottish Coastal Ro...with the amazing growth in the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project there is now more interest in boat building in Scotland than there has beeen for decades!Whilst some may argue that the wonderful St. Ayles Skiffs are not traditional the plethora of boats both built and under construction is testament to the interest in the craft. In my opinion getting people interested in general is the first step to creating a valuable, sustainable and green industry....At Fairlie Boat Builders we hope to begin construction of our first skiff next week and if interest is high enough then start short courses in traditional construction and repair. <br />Oh and Hi Ewan ,long time no see .don't you travel to Portsoy anymore ??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811511374786839367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875762894527152234.post-81714898973713377012012-10-30T15:28:42.458-07:002012-10-30T15:28:42.458-07:00visit projectodorna.euvisit projectodorna.euAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811511374786839367noreply@blogger.com
