Credits and many thanks to Roy McBride as the co-instigator of this initiative, and the source of much of the material - especially photos. Roy has a great interest in boats, especially traditional ones, and is active in the industry where he supplies high quality kits for boat construction from leading designers. He is a fountain of knowledge on traditional boats and construction methods. For anyone interested in boats and cruising, you need to see his blog at ckdboats.blogspot.com - it is updated daily with interesting articles on all sorts of things!
Should you wish to see a specific boat featured, are able to supply (or add information) for a given design, or wish to correct any points made in this blog, please email to infomarina@mweb.co.za
Thank you!
