I just went on the K1 Britannia Kickstarter page, i've been following the project for a while now and think it's pretty cool seeing things done in new ways.

| Well, whatever else they have going with this project, I reckon the decks should be comfortable to walk on, covered as they will be with the generous supplies of artificial grass there seems to be about the thing... |

There are genuine people doing genuine things in this world ya know, and it's not an easy project. I met the people involved in K1 while in Wight for the round the isle race, they're a great team and it was fascinating and different. Anyhow, I showed my support by getting the crew shirt! this is what I really wanted... lets see how it goes.  |

I received this email this morning from K1 Britannia: -- Hi Don, a warm greeting from the K1 Britannia team. We launched K1 Britannia on Kickstarter on October 30th, check out our - Kickstarter Page . We are currently raising funds for Britannia's interior design and engineering, to recreate every item that would have been on board Britannia at the turn of the century. The rewards for pledging will include incredible replicas of the crew and officers' clothing worn on the original Britannia. There are oil paintings and design prints from world renowned marine artists, hand signed and finished litho prints of Britannia's deck plan, sail plan, and interiors. There's also a limited amount of invitations to be aboard Britannia during her first Regatta's in the UK, Mediterranean and Caribbean or an invitation to dine aboard Britannia with her officers and crew. You have a short window of opportunity to help our project and own something special that’s been crafted by the rebuild team. K1 Britannia Kickstarter will run for 60 days and the clock is ticking. You can also now join in on the discussion by clicking any reward and adding your comments, suggestions, and questions. We'd love to hear from you! Please make a pledge, choose your reward, then spread the word by forwarding this email or link on to as many as you can. We’ve also updated our website with lots of new editions. Check it out at http://k1britannia.org - K1 Britannia . Your support really does make a difference. Sincerely, Scott Ward [email]scott@k1britannia.org[/email] PS: Check us out on facebook for the latest updates to the project! http://www.facebook.com/pages/K1-Britannia/180754088696051 - K1 Britannia | Facebook
