Marking the end of an incredible year for our newly formed club, some of our members were pictured sharing mince pies and mulled wine alongside the bare bones of our boat.
We are thankful to our neighbours in Kinghorn Coastal Rowing Club for loaning us their build frame and moulds, which can be seen set up in this picture. These form a sort of ‘template’ around which our new boat will be built, upside down. Our kit – the 243rd sold in the UK – arrived from Jordan Boats in December in the form of three 50-kilogram crates containing all the plywood parts of the boat. In addition, we have also purchased timber for the keel, hog, aprons and stems (which make up the backbone of the hull) and the gunwales from Abbey Timber in Abbey St Bathans.
We look forward to seeing everyone again in the new year and pushing on with our build – bring on 2020!
