Last week I was lucky enough to be able to visit retired boatbuilder Eric Paine and his friend Len, who are together building a traditional timber-built South Coast fishing vessel. The project continues to be stunning!
Eric believes this to be the first new boat of its type to be built for 45 years.
To see earlier posts about Eric and Len’s build see Building a new traditional fishing boat for Dungeness and Progress on the traditional fishing boat for Dungeness.

Can you say where it is? It looks wonderful
I’m sorry, but I’ve been asked not to reveal that information.

Yes, fair enough. But if you can keep updates coming that would be great
