Will Stirling’s had his camera out over at the Stirling & Son yard and has come up with these photos.
They starting with the cutter Integrity’s impressive counter stern – click here for more about this project.
I’m strongly reminded of an original Victorian cutter named Leila we saw some months ago. Leila is currently being restored at Southwold; see a post about her here.
The others show John Gallagher fitting the mast step; Ted Luck eyeing up the sheer and Will’s son Alf adjusting a batten he feels perhaps could be a little fairer. I can’t imagine a better place for any of these boys to play.
Thanks Will – you take a nice shot!
