With many volunteers otherwise occupied over the summer months and a delay in accessing our new storage facility restoration work has been minimal for a while. Summer is now pretty over for most people so OHBS activities are picking up once again. While we await access to our new storage facility some work has continued at Ian Richardson's yard in Stromness.
Work has resumed on Saga with the main effort now focused on fitting new coaming boards. The old coaming boards were deemed too badly worn once they had been cleaned up.

The old coaming boards were used on the inside of the new coaming boards during the fit up so that the clamps didn't mark the new boards.
