Adam and his wife have taken on a challenge - the restoration of a 1936 40ft 7 berth teak on oak Windboat. Christina was found in a run down condition, but her structure was remarkably good in general, and it was considered that she was well worthy of a major refit. Adam says he wants to find out some more history on her (Windboats lost all their records in a fire and were not much use). Her current name is Lady Christine and she's been out the water for around 13 years now. Its a heck of a project but any advice, ideas, good contacts would be massively appreciated as there is a lot to do. Adams based down in Winchester, Hampshire but hopes to have her back on the Broads when she's done.

Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI just noticed recently that you had posted a thread on your blog about our project Lady Christina (quite some time ago Feb 11). Well after 19 months of back breaking work we have got her back into the water. She is still a little way off being finished but we’re working on her full time at the moment so hope to have her completed by the end of May. I have updated the thread on the forum a little and I’ll be loading up a lot more photos over the next few days.
Anyhow I just thought we’d say hello and let you know that an old Broads gal is back home after being away for over 60 years and being out the water for the last 18!!
Cheers, Adam & Katie.
