BBA December 2011 student launch – first two photos

The Boat Building Academy staffer Emma Brice has kindly sent over a couple of photos she took at this year’s somewhat wintry-looking student launch. I hope it wasn’t too cold down at Lyme!

The catboat above left was built by Michael Tyler; the Caledonian Yawl above right was built by David Campbell.

I gather the Academy’s tutors were particularly pleased to finally launch Gary Thompson’s Haven 12 ½ built during the September 2010 course – it couldn’t be launched in June because of strong winds.

Thanks Emma!
