How Britain shut the door on overseas boatbuilding students

Norfolk’s Rescue Wooden Boats builds the first crab boat for 25 years
This is a splendid piece of news – Rescue Wooden Boats trustee David Hewitt has built and now launched the Norfolk Coast’s first new traditionally built crab boat for 25 years, the 17ft oak-built Auk.
Read about it on the Anglia Afloat website, or click on the image above to go to the newspaper’s nice photogallery.
Anglia TV has also put a story online.
I’m amused to notice that a little before the launch, David and his boatbuilding apprentice Tom Gathercole carefully fitted Auk’s engine beds – or ‘wrongs’ as they are known in the area. ‘Engine wrongs’. Great name chaps!
