Unfinished Boat to Attend Gala

stephen — Thu, 24 May 2012 10:57:51 +0100

The boat will be attending the Gala (Sat, 9th June), albeit in an unfinished state. The plan is to show the boat off and also have a workbench to enable work to be done on the oars. There is plenty of wood to be planed off the oars to get then into shape. So please come and pick up a plane.

We will also be voting for the boat’s name. We have had several suggestions and there is still time for more.

Activity picked up with some midweek work and the most dedicated builders out on Sunday. Rob’s father Rufus also lent a hand and shaped up the breasthooks. The stern breasthook is now in place. As is the cox’s foot rest which passed its strength test with both Rob and Tim standing on it (but not at the same time). Chris took on the task of making the cox’s seat.

Gary and Nick glued the last of the outer gunwales on. This has been a much more challenging task than expected. The inconsistencies of the timber has meant that strips have had to be shortened to avoid knots in the wood and then scarphed on to pieces already on the boat. All in all fiddly work and well done to Gary for preserving with it. Nick and Gary also glued on the bases for the kabes on the port side.

The Boat Needs a Name

It is a been few weeks since the last update, and details of what has been going on in the boatshed are below.

But firstly, we need your help - the boat needs a name.

We are planning to choose the boat’s name at the Gala. The plan is for you to vote for your favourite name at the Gala. But beforehand, we need suggestions. Can you please send me your suggestions plus an explanation of why this should be the name of the Catterline Coastal Rowing boat. These will be displayed at the Gala, so that people can choose their favourite name.

The biggest excitement in April was the screening of a short piece on the project on STV news (about half way through)

Since Easter boat building turnouts have been low. Progress has therefore been a bit slower than perhaps hoped for. The boat will come to the Gala, but will not be ready to be launched. There will be some work that can be done at the Gala.
