Chris Perkins, the Watercraft award-winning builder of Scotch Mist, an award-winning Iain Oughtred Macgregor sailing canoe, has kindly sent me these photos of this year’s Home Built Boat Rally national meet at the Cotswold Water Park near Cirencester. It’s great to see a British version of the American messabout movement emerging, and perhaps we’ll see some more home boatbuilding in the UK as a result.
