Wood for our new boat arrives in Govan


The first delivery of larch trees to be used for the construction of our new boat has arrived and we are expecting a similar amount to be dropped off tomorrow. The Scottish Environment Minister Mike Russell, offered to help us out last year and put us in contact with the Forestry Commission in Appin who duly offered their support, so thanks again folks.
It only took about ten minutes for the hi-ab to lift the huge larch logs off the truck and stack them up. We still have a bit of work to do before we start on the construction but it shouldn't be too long before we are milling the logs. Well done to all who helped clear the space to allow the delivery. We will keep you posted with progress.
