Topic: Boat restoration Posted: 20 Mar 05 at 5:59pm |
This summer Discovery Home & Leisure are producing a new television series about boat restoration. The ten part series will follow five renovation projects and capture the imagination of the nation by combining the hunt for a rusty old shell of a boat;- what is it, how did it get there and just how bad is the condition it’s in? - and the journey of how it’s lovingly restored to its former splendour, ready to set sail by the end of each episode. The producers are looking for possible contributors for the series who already own an old boat they want to restore or people who have aspirations to buy an old boat that needs doing up. The final projects chosen must be completed within 4 months from the start of filming which is due to commence in May 2005. The restorations must be based in southern England, regrettably we will not be able to cover the north. |

I'd really recomment talking to someone like Ozzie Stewart as he restores boats to an incredible standard. He was displaying a Thames A Rater at the Dinghy Show that was amazing. His contact details are on the Thames Sailing Club website at http://www.thamessailingclub.org.uk/ Another organisation to talk to would be the Classic & Vintage Racing Dinghy Association. Their website is http://www.cvrda.org/ . They have a load of restored dinghies racing and I know a few boats and being / about to be restored. Hope this helps. |
