Leo Muis has sent in a whole bunch of photographs of the restoration of his Tidewater. He says that 90% of the timbers have been replaced, and judging by the pictures, very professionally. I have to reduce the photos down in size to get them on here, but in the next few days I hope they will be available for viewing. J.W.
Well here they are, Leo says his boat has the name 'Seventh Heaven' and was built in 1962 in Leigh on Sea by Seacraft. She is now in the Netherlands. About 2008 is the proposed launch date, power to the elbow Leo! The work can be seen in the pictures and is excellent. Dated Dec 04. |
